Production Company Information
The Orlando Gay Chorus (OGC) is one of the largest mixed gay choirs in the country. Founded on Valentine’s Day in 1990, OGC has been a fixture in the Central Florida area for over 25 years. In addition to the full chorus, OGC has four small ensembles that perform at the annual concerts and cabarets, as well as at community and private events: OUTLOUD!, the oldest running ensemble; Nothin’ But Treble, the all-female ensemble; Menage, the jazz ensemble; and Spectrum, the mixed ensemble.
The Orlando Gay Chorus is comprised of individuals from all walks of life, all ages, and all orientations: gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender volunteers – as well as many straight allies – comprise the chorus and the behind-the-scenes support staff. OGC warmly welcomes all who would like to join them in their goal of changing hearts and minds in Central Florida and throughout the world. OUR MISSION: Inspiring individuals, the community and the world through excellence in musical entertainment. OUR VISION: Using music to change images and attitudes, build a stronger community, and make the world a better place. The Orlando Gay Chorus (OGC) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit arts and humanitarian organization. We, the men and women of the chorus, now 100+ strong and comprised of gay, straight, bisexual, and transgender individuals, feel thankful to be able to carry on our mission and vision. Our musical artistry speaks directly to our pride in ourselves, and offers the world a chance to see beyond headlines and contentious social issues to build bridges of understanding and love. The Orlando Gay Chorus is committed to: Providing high quality, skilled performances in an environment that maintains an atmosphere of integrity, honesty and mutual respect. Offering education, cultural, and social enrichment for our members and our audience through excellence in the choral arts. Making our musical entertainment accessible to all people. Living Our Mission As part of the Central Florida Arts Community, the Orlando Gay Chorus often performs at Come Out With Pride, Orlando Museum of Art “Festival of Trees” and World AIDS Day memorial services. In addition to our two major concerts in December and May, we present three smaller cabaret concerts; “OGC UNCUT Cabaret” each October, “Love Is…” around Valentine’s Day, and OGC’s “A Lotta Night Music” at the end of June each year. In July 2016, Orlando Gay Chorus and its small ensembles represented Central Florida in front of an audience of 3000, from around the world, at the GALA Choruses Festival 2016 in Denver, Colorado. The Chorus has performed for openly gay active duty military personnel at the Shades of Green Resort located at Walt Disney World Resort as part of OutServe/SLDN’s as well as at the Out and Equal National Conference, at the PFLAG Florida conferences in Orlando and the Florida Annual Convention for the United Church of Christ. In 2012, Orlando Gay Chorus and its small ensembles represented Central Florida in front of an audience of 3000 from around the world at the GALA Choruses Festival 2012 in Denver, Colorado. OGC performed for openly gay active duty military personnel at the Shades of Green Resort located at Walt Disney World Resort as part of OutServe/SLDN’s 2nd international conference in October. The Chorus has performed at the Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, Inc. (PFLAG) Florida conference in Orlando and the Florida Annual Convention for the United Church of Christ. Orlando Gay Chorus Gives Back In addition to our music, the Orlando Gay Chorus is known for our humanitarian efforts throughout the year. Every November, the sections of the Chorus each partner with the Children’s Home Society (CHS) and sponsor families in need for Thanksgiving Day meal baskets. For the past 23 years, the Orlando Gay Chorus has hosted the longest continuous US Marine Corps Reserve Toys For Tots campaign in Central Florida. We also donate our time and talents with performances at several nursing homes and retirement centers, as well as benefits and community awareness events. Affiliations The Orlando Gay Chorus is a member of GALA Choruses, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization serving the GLBT choral movement. Founded in 1982 by fourteen choruses, GALA Choruses has become the leading international association of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender choruses. |
