Rhode Island Gay Men's Chorus

In 1995, twelve gay men responded to a small ad in a local LGBTQ magazine seeking singers who shared a passion for choral music. That first gathering became the Providence Gay Men's Chorus (PGMC). Under the leadership of Artistic Director Kim Kuda, our reach has expanded, our music has evolved, and our ties to communities across the state have strengthened. In 2020, celebrating our 25th anniversary, we became the Rhode Island Gay Men's Chorus (RIGMC), a name that honors our statewide presence and mission. Our performances don’t just showcase music; they champion visibility. Every voice contributes to a tapestry of sound that is as rich and varied as the community it represents. From high-energy showstoppers to heartfelt ballads, our musical programs invite our audience on an emotional journey that affirms the beauty of living truthfully and loving boldly. In a time when LGBTQIA+ voices face challenges and threats across the globe, this chorus stands proud. No matter the obstacles, no matter the setbacks, our shows will go on with pride, passion, and a family of voices singing their truth loud and clear.
