History
The Albany Gay Men's Chorus formed in 2008. The chorus was formed as a program within the Pride Center of the Capital Region. Many of our founding members belonged to several other local choruses but dreamed of starting a local gay chorus dedicated to singing quality choral music as well as Broadway tunes, popular songs and fun novelty pieces in the time-honored Tenor 1, Tenor 2, Baritone & Bass tradition. AGMC became its own non-profit organization in 2012. As a 16-year-old chorus, 12 years on our own, we are proud to have grown to 35+ members. We look forward to growing larger and getting more involved in our community. In the 2024 Times Union Best of the Capital Region Albany Gay Men's Chorus was chosen as one of the top four in Best Local Musician/Music Groups. The chorus continues to grow in recognition and acclaim through our concerts, community event performances and support of local LGBTQIA+, and LGBTQIA+ friendly organizations. AGMC donates 10% of the proceeds of our concerts to various non-profit local organizations.
