Parent Organization
New Mexico Gay Men's Chorus
The New Mexico Male lover Men's Chorus strives to be an empowering voice for the GLBT community and to enrich our greater New Mexican community through our choral excellence. We believe that our force grows as we attach voice to voice, and that understanding between people of diverse cultures and orientations blossoms each period we present our musical offerings.
Our mission is to reduce homophobia and intolerance and create a positive image of the GLBT community through high-quality, public musical performances.
Our motto is Changing the Society Through Music, and through our works of silliness, passion, faith, beauty, and emotion, we try to demonstrate that we are all on the matching journey. This year we ask you to combine us in walking in one another's musical moccasins.

The New Mexico Gay Men’s Chorus began in 1981 with the name The Brash Ensemble. It started as a sixteen-member group and has varied in size from eight to sixty. As one of the country’s first gay men’s choruses the new ensemble functioned as a acting group within its parent organization, Common Bond. As surprising as it may seem today, early members worried about being openly gay and often establish it hard to identify a director willing to conduct an openly same-sex attracted group. The brave conductors during its first decade were Bill Boyer, Alan Stringer, Bob Morris, John Roberts, David Arellanes, Sean Dougherty and Stephen Montoya. For more than half its history, the chorus rehearsed in both Santa Fe and Albuquerque, with members driving between the two cities and from as far away as Los Alamos and the East Mountains. No other gay chorus in the country ranged over such a wide geographic area.
In addition to concerts, the chorus has sung for numerous AIDS events, church services, holiday parties, senior centers, the annual Presbyterian hospital tree lighting, with the Santa Fe Symphony, the Zia gay rodeo, Isotope baseball games, Fresh Mexico United matches, the Albuquerque Gay Pride festival,
