After an incredible year of national and international performances, Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus are ready to dazzle local audiences with…
We’re getting ready to make the yuletide gay!
In fact, the boys are so keen to jingle their bells, this year’s show is entitled Ding Dong!
With its roots set firmly in the Hollywood Christmas Rom/Com tradition, this might just be the first gay Christmas-romantic-comedy-musical-show set in Brighton the world has ever seen!
Mirth and merriment are guaranteed as the Chorus pulls out all the stops to perform a mix of Christmas classics and pop party-starters.
St George’s Church, Kemptown
Friday 2nd & Saturday 3rd December
Tickets £18 / £13 concession
About Us
Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus is a space where people can celebrate music, celebrate their sexuality, enjoy the fellowship of other like-minded people and contribute to the local communities of which we are a part. The Chorus is a registered charity with three guiding principles, our “Three S’s”:
Singing
The celebration of life and music through male voice harmony
Socialising
Using singing to develop social bonds that help people to feel connected in a sometimes lonely world
Support
To be there for each other – both collectively and individually – when the chips are down, and to be there for the communities in which the chorus operates, too
Join us
Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus is always looking for new members. All we ask is that you self-identify as male and are LGBTQ-friendly.
We’re a “TTBB” choir, which means we sing mainly in four-part harmony: First Tenor, Second Tenor, Baritone and Bass.
Unlike some other choral groups, we don’t audition.
If you think you might be interested then please feel free to come to any Tuesday evening rehearsal.
During the pandemic we’re rehearsing via Zoom from 7.30-8.30pm every Tuesday. In normal times we rehearse from 7.30-10.00pm every Tuesday evening in central Brighton.
Please click Read More below to read the information on our Join Us page and then drop our Membership Co-ordinators a quick email to let them know to look out for you.
