Welcome to the Syracuse Gay & Lesbian Chorus
The Syracuse Gay & Lesbian Chorus is a welcoming community of LGBTQIA+ singers, volunteers, and allies who come together to make music, support one another, and build a more joyful, connected Central New York. Since 1991, we’ve shared the power of choral artistry as a way to celebrate diversity, create belonging, and lift our voices together in harmony.
For more than three decades, we’ve offered a place where LGBTQIA+ people and allies can gather, breathe, sing, volunteer, and belong. Some members feel equally at home performing on stage or appearing in photos; others prefer privacy or a gentler approach to visibility. All are respected, valued, and encouraged to participate in ways that feel right for them.
What We Do
Through expressive and eclectic choral music—from classical and contemporary to Broadway, pop, and global traditions—we celebrate the beauty of our voices and the richness of our stories. We present full concerts in Syracuse and bring our music to communities across New York State through special events and collaborations.
Whether we’re singing on stage, sharing music at a community gathering, or learning together in rehearsal, we strive to create moments of connection that uplift everyone involved.
Why It Matters
For us, music is more than performance.
It is a space of courage, creativity, and care.
Every rehearsal, every harmony, and every shared breath is an act of belonging—an affirmation that all identities and expressions are welcome here.
