Connecticut Arts Alliance continues a series of posts spotlighting its CAA members. The Membership Program, begun in 2019, joins together arts organizations, artists, and arts patrons throughout Connecticut to collectively raise our voice and increase recognition of the important role the arts play in building and inspiring an equitable, vibrant, and connected Connecticut.
The Hartford Gay Men’s Chorus is celebrating their eighth season this year. Founded in 2012, the 60+ member organization is celebrated for their musicianship, creative programming, and community outreach. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Dr. Wendy K. Moy and Executive Director Robert Reader, the HGMC sings a wide range of music as a catalyst to inspire, impact, and enrich the lives of their members, patrons, and the community.
The HGMC recognizes the sociopolitical statement inherent in being an openly gay organization and, as such, representatives of the LGBT community. In addition to concerts, the HGMC represent the LGBT community through partnerships with other gay and gay-affirming organizations, outreach within our community and beyond, and participation and performances at pride events, cultural celebrations, civic programs, sporting events, and other special occasions.
The HGMC recently began a YouTube channel and uploaded its first virtual chorus video, Bridge Over Troubled Water. Also visit their website and Facebook page. Follow them on Instagram and Twitter at #hgmcsing.
