About Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles:
GAY MEN’S CHORUS OF LOS ANGELES, under the leadership of Executive Director
& Producer Lou Spisto and Music Director & Conductor Ernest H. Harrison, is in its 46th
year of music and service. GMCLA continues to garner acclaim for artistic excellence
while remaining deeply rooted in service to the Los Angeles community and beyond by
promoting civil rights, tolerance, and acceptance through music. Founded in 1979
during the emergence of the gay rights movement, GMCLA spreads its message of love
and acceptance with concerts across the globe and has raised its collective voice in the
movement toward equality, social justice, the fight against the AIDS crisis, the fight for
marriage equality, and all those seeking to find their own voice. GMCLA’s free
community concert program has provided access to concerts to tens of thousands over
the decades, and its research-based education programs have served over 90,000
young people throughout the Los Angeles region.
GMCLA opened the current season at the Saban in December with SugarPlum Fairies
which was nearly sold out and a rousing success; and last season was presented at
both the Saban and the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. In 2023, GMCLA’s season finale
was the incredible Disney Pride in Concert, performed to two sold out houses at Walt
Disney concert Hall. In recent years, GMCLA has performed at Carnegie Hall and the
Hollywood Bowl (with Hugh Jackman). Reaching global audiences, a GMCLA
appearance at the 2020 Film Independent Spirit Awards has gained more than 7 million
online views. During the pandemic, GMCLA presented virtual concerts, special events,
and school programs, reaching thousands of new and longtime fans. From Los Angeles
and Ireland to Brazil and New Zealand, GMCLA’s streaming concerts were incredibly
well received. Critics have proclaimed the Chorus “inspired” and “expressive, innovative
and utterly moving,” and hailed GMCLA for presenting “meaningful entertainment.”
It’s an extravaganza eleganza as GMCLA’s 200 singers perform the most iconic dance
melodies of every genre -- from Carmina Burana to The King and I, Hairspray, The
Producers, to Lionel Ritchie, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Bee Gees, Luther Vandross, ABBA, Earth
Wind and Fire, Kylie Minogue, Dua Lipa and of course, Donna Summer! Dance-music diva and
super-ally Kristine W (17 #1 singles, tying Mariah Carey for the sixth-most Billboard #1 dance
hits) and legendary performer and advocate Bruce Villanch make their GMCLA
debuts! We’re celebrating Pride as never before with this over-the-top Season 46 blockbuster
finale!
