SING WITH US! The Palm Springs Gay Men's Chorus Holds Auditions For Its 20th Season

Leading into its 20th Season, the Palm Springs Gay Men's Chorus (PSGMC) will be holding open call auditions August 28 at 7:00 p.m. at the Mizell Senior Center, 480 South Sunrise Way in Palm Springs. This special evening of camaraderie will also be an opportunity to volunteer and get involved with one of the chorus' many committees. Interested singers can also attend open rehearsals on August 14 and 21 at 7:00 p.m. to experience what it is like to perform with the chorus and meet its members.

The "Sing With Us" campaign stems from the chorus' tight-knit group of men who are passionate about performing and entertaining at civic and private events throughout the cities of the Coachella Valley. On April 8, 2018, Mayor Robert Moon recognized PSGMC as the Official Gay Men's Chorus of the City of Palm Springs through a proclamation. That day was declared Palm Springs Gay Men's Chorus Day.

"In our continued effort to "Build a Chorus Like No Other," the PSGMC is committed to a high standard of excellence in our performances. For this audition, we will not only be recruiting singers for the main chorus, but also for our small ensemble group "The Arrangement. It is an easy and painless process. We mainly require the singer to match pitch, have a great smile and good stage presence," said Douglas Wilson, Artistic Director, PSGMC.

The chorus is an auditioned, volunteer choral ensemble consisting of male singers age eighteen and older, of all ethnicities, gay or gay-friendly along with straight allies. With a wide range of varying musical training and backgrounds, the chorus is committed to fostering an environment of professionalism, respect, pride, and unity.

"As we grow our membership and continue to build diversity, we encourage the Trans Community, if you identify as a man and sing in the tenor or bass range, to audition for the chorus".

The mission of the PSGMC is to be a chorus of gay men, who through musical excellence, community outreach, and civic responsibility, are dedicated to entertaining, inspiring, and educating the culturally diverse community in which we live.For more information on meeting the requirements and an application form https://psgmc.com/auditions/.
