Asheville Gay Men’s Chorus
A voluntary, not-for-profit community chorus for gay men and allies. In addition to our holiday and summer concert we perform for various events throughout WNC and beyond. Traditionally we also perform at Blue Ridge Pride festival, World AIDS Day and our annual cabaret show in February. We sing for fundraisers, weddings and other community events.
