Proudly, the Orlando Gay Chorus hosts the longest continuous US Marine Corps Reserve Toys For Tots campaign in Central Florida. Every November, the sections of the Chorus each partner with the Children’s Home Society (CHS) and sponsor families in need for Thanksgiving Day meal baskets. In addition to our music, the Orlando Gay Chorus is known for our humanitarian efforts throughout the year. In the years since the Pulse tragedy, OGC and its ensembles continue to be ambassadors of hope and healing to the victims’ families, survivors, and those affected by the Pulse tragedy, performing in over 150 Pulse-related community engagements in the first year alone. The Orlando Gay Chorus has performed in many GALA (Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses) Festivals, most memorably during the 2016 Denver festival in front of an audience of 3000, from around the world shortly after the Pulse tragedy. In addition to our two mainstage concerts in December and May, we present smaller cabarets and take our show on the road at least once a year to cities outside of Orlando, like Sanford, Ormand Beach, Cocoa, and more). Our musical artistry speaks directly to our pride in ourselves and offers the world a chance to see beyond headlines and contentious social issues to build bridges of understanding and love.Īs part of the Central Florida Arts Community, the Orlando Gay Chorus often performs at Central Florida pride events, sporting events, and various other community engagements. We, the members of the chorus, now 100+ strong, feel thankful to be able to carry on our mission and vision. The Orlando Gay Chorus (OGC) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit arts and humanitarian organization. OGC warmly welcomes all who would like to join them in their goal of changing hearts and minds in Central Florida and throughout the world. The Orlando Gay Chorus is comprised of LGBTQ+ individuals (and many allies) from all walks of life, all ages, and all backgrounds.
