The Salt Lake Men’s Choir is one of Utah’s oldest member-supported arts organizations. For 29 years we have been bringing diversity to Salt Lake City through song, helping dispel hate and prejudice, and building bridges between the gay and nongay communities.
SLMC encourages and takes pride in the diversity of its members. Our common thread is that we strive for musical excellence in our singing.
The 2010-2011 season is our 29th year. Our artistic director, Dennis McCracken joined us in 2006 and the choir has seen steady growth, both in numbers and quality, since.
We have produced two CDs, “Ring Out Wild Bells!,” an album of Christmas music, and a collection of American music entitled “SLMC.” Both have sold out and we are working on creating a new one soon.
We have performed all over the state of Utah as well as Idaho, California and the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. We are also thrilled to have performed in a sold-out Sydney Opera House as part of the Sydney 2002 Gay Games VI Sport and Cultural Festival. We have been asked to perform on stage at Carnegie Hall in New York City next year.
As a volunteer community choir, this organization has accomplished much since its beginning. Our ability to do that is found in the pledge of commitment we make to each other to be the best we can be, both individually and collectively. Integrity, good will and trust in each other have built the choir to what it is today.
