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 47^th 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 has raised its collective voice in the movement toward equality, social justice, the AIDS crisis, the fight for marriage equality, and all those seeking to find their own voice. Critics have proclaimed the Chorus “inspired” and “expressive, innovative and utterly moving,” and have hailed GMCLA for presenting “meaningful entertainment.” GMCLA’s free community concert program has provided access to concerts to thousands each year, and its innovative Alive Muisc Project has served over 100,000 high school students to date. GMCLA is delighted to return to LA’s historic Saban Theatre where our most recent season’s SugarPlum Fairies, Rhinestone Cowboys, and Dancing Queens were tremsdously well received. The Chorus has performed at Walt Disney Concert Hall and Hollywood Bowl, Royce Hall and the Alex Theatre, has appeared at New York’s iconic Carnegie Hall and has toured throughout Europe, Russia, and South America. With these tours, as well as extensive output on YouTube and social media, the Chorus has followers across the globe, and to that end, in August of 2026 GMCLA is embarking on a European Tour. The Chorus is honored to be one of five Ensembles invited to perform at events throughout World Pride Amsterdam including a concert at the historic Concertgebouw. Following this excitng week GMCLA will travel to the UK  for several performances at the Actors Church in London’s Covent Garden.
