Greetings Friends!

I’m sure you recognize that we of the Des Moines Gay Men’s Chorus wear two hats; a group of choral artists and a group of justice-loving GLBT advocates. We’re fresh from a delightful Winter Solstice collaboration with the Des Moines Vocal Arts Ensemble, and our excitement is bubbling over during this, our ninth season. We’ve got new venues you’ll adore, collaborative partners you’ll love, and a deeper commitment to bring you engaging, affordable, LIVE music.

We’ll give you what you’ve come to expect from the Chorus - beautiful men’s choral music, beautifully sung, with our specialty ~ a pinch of the unexpected.

We love doing music for you. We know it makes a difference, because we hear the sweet song of equality every time we sing. Won’t you join us?

So, here are the particulars for the next shows from the Chorus, but be forewarned ~ there is limited seating available.

Don’t be left out ~ click through to the “buy tickets” page to secure your spot.   It’s easy!

Come on – let’s all sing OUT!

There are some ladies we love in our fair city, and there are some places we love, too. Snuggle up in the black box theatre (and the adjacent bar!) of Des Moines’ hottest spot for a cabaret show where the men shine alongside jazz artist Amber Duimstra, sweet soprano Emily Chafa, and musical theatre diva, Gina Gedler. Gilbert & Sullivan, Stephen Sondheim, and Rodgers & Hammerstein mix with Carole King and Shakespeare (yes!) in a tasty blend served up by the DMGMC.

In the beautiful acoustic of the beautiful Swedish Lutheran Church, with a beautiful Steinway Grand piano ~ now THAT’S how the Chorus kicks off Pride weekend! Gather with the Chorus just one block north of the Blazing Saddle for an evening of folk music and frivolity. American folk music and music for the stage is well-represented in our “Pride Concert,” as are Welsh and English compositions, and music by gay composers and poets. This is a night that celebrates men’s voices and celebrates being out.
