The chorus and its four ensembles, each with its own conductor, perform for more than 25,000 people each year. With renewed general operating support, the organization will continue to incrementally grow its staff, pilot an education program, and mark its 40th anniversary in 2017, as it undertakes a tour of six southern states that have major discriminatory laws aimed at the LGBTQ community.
