The London Gay Men's Chorus
The London Gay Men’s Chorus was founded in 1991 by a group of six men who met in a
basement in North London. It now has about 200 members, and the desire to entertain,
educate and have a good time is as strong as ever.
The choir has made many TV and radio appearances and sung everywhere from a Tube station to The Albert Hall. Over time the Chorus has raised thousands of pounds for charity and has released several CDs. The choir rehearses in Camden Town on Monday nights. Everybody is welcome regardless of their musical abilities (intake is normally in January and September). The very varied repertoire includes classical, jazz, show tunes, pop songs, and folk music.

Orchestras
London Gay Symphony Orchestra
The LGSO was born in May 1996 with the aim of building a musical home for the large number
of gay and lesbian musicians who want to combine their musical and social lives.
With around 80 members, the LGSO is a very friendly group, whose musical experience
varies considerably.
The orchestra does not operate an audition policy and interested members are invited to contact the orchestra. Non-playing members are greatly appreciated - they get involved with the stage management of concerts, selling tickets, and general stewarding, for example.
