About the RCC

Our Mission

The Renaissance City Choirs’ mission is to promote a positive image of the GLBT community and to be a leading contributor to the cultural life of the tri-state area.  We seek to build bridges both within the GLBT community and with the community at large.  Our programming blends challenging contemporary music; commissions of new works; an ambitious, traditional repertoire; and music from various world cultures.  We seek to educate, challenge and enlighten both our audiences and our singing membership.  We continue to affirm, by example and through song, the worth and dignity of sexual minorities.  Music that is gay-positive and openly supports issues related to human equality and justice is represented at all concerts.

Building on a history of artistry, involvement, and pride, the Renaissance City Choirs fulfills its mission by:

  • Presenting innovative programming of the highest quality
  • Encouraging cooperation with the GLBT community, locally and nationally
  • Representing the GLBT community as a visible participant in the region’s cultural life
  • Maintaining a financially sound organization to support its goals

The Renaissance City Choirs are proud members of GALA Choruses.
