In 1991, nine friends came together to sing a few Christmas carols at Angel Underground Station hoping to raise a few pounds for the Terrence Higgins Trust. London was in the midst of the AIDS crisis and the men, who belonged to a social group called London Friend sang together to find a place of support, of friendship and of brotherhood. Little did they know what they had kickstarted.<\/p>\n

Fast-forward 25 years, and this once small band of singers now calls itself the London<\/strong> Gay Men\u2019s Chorus. Boasting over 200 members, the LGMC is the largest gay choir in Europe and regularly plays to sell-out crowds at Southbank Centre, Cadogan Hall and the Roundhouse.<\/p>\n

Over the years, the chorus has been lucky enough to have worked with a diverse range of artists including pop stars Mark Ronson and Elton John, soprano Lesley Garrett, country legend Dolly Parton, musical theatre star Hannah Waddingham, actor Simon Callow and comedienne Sandi Toksvig. The LGMC has also appeared on Children In Need, Comic Relief, The One Show, The Graham Norton Show and Top of the Pops.<\/p>\n

We are a TTBB (First Tenors, Second Tenors, Baritones, Basses) formation choir composed of about 25 singers and a pianist. Our repertoire ranges from Renaissance madrigals to pop music.\r\n\r\nWe are all male voices, but we are not all males. We are all very young at heart, but the age range of our choir members covers three generations. We are a microcosm of experiences and sensitivities, from which music, love, and lots of hilarious gags blossom.\r\n\r\nFor Komos it is a great privilege to host Various Voices 2023 in Bologna, our city of music and freedom, which has meant so much for Italian culture and the history of the movement in our country. This will be an opportunity to bring this history to the world, and to be enriched by the great experiences that the participating choirs will bring with them.\r\n\r\n--> Facebook: Komos - Coro LGBT di Bologna<\/a>\r\n\r\n--> Instagram: @komos.corolgbt\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n\u00a0","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[41],"yoast_head":"\nLondon Gay Men's Chorus - Various Voices 2023<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"London Gay Men's Chorus - Various Voices 2023\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In 1991, nine friends came together to sing a few Christmas carols at Angel Underground Station hoping to raise a few pounds for the Terrence Higgins Trust.
