Sacramento gay mens choir
The Sacramento Gay Men’s Chorus (SGMC) is one of the oldest and largest LGBTQ+ performing arts organizations in the Sacramento region. The chorus was founded in 1984 as a singing group that aimed to foster a perception of community and help gay men in the Sacramento area during the AIDS crisis. SGMC now consists of 110 singers from diverse backgrounds, combined by a love of music and a dedication to promoting social justice, equality, and LGBTQ+ rights through the power of music. SGMC is involved to promoting visibility and understanding of the Diverse community and creating a more inclusive and accepting society. The chorus is also known for its high-quality performances that showcase a wide range of musical genres, from pop to classical and everything in between. The chorus’s performances are not only entertaining but also meaningful, as they often deal with important social issues and promote messages of acceptance, love, and understanding.
One of the best things about the Sacramento Gay Men’s Chorus is its engagement to promoting diversity, equality, and inclusion through melody. The chorus brings together singers from all walks of life. It provides a welcoming

New Home for the Holidays
How are the rehearsals going for this year’s holiday concert?
It’s really a lot of exciting energy. Pre-pandemic, we had around 60 people singing in the chorus. Now we own 130 singers on the rolls. So we’re trying to manage this monumental growth and welcome recent people. It can be a bit daunting walking into a room of 130 people.
You joined the chorus as its unused artistic director just a few months ago, so this will be your first time helming the hotly anticipated holiday display. What can audiences predict this year?
I programmed a show that lives on nostalgia, a lot of camp, some reflective moments, and then some dancing for everybody to earn excited about. That’s what audiences are expecting from us. Nostalgic camp, I’ll say. For “Holiday Hits with a Splash of Sass,” you have to do the movement. [Heetland snaps a Z shape through the air.] Splash… of… sass. It’s a tradition.
