The Seattle Men's Chorus is proud to be a part of Seattle's multi-faceted musical community. Though our members are of diverse backgrounds, professions, and interests, we are in many ways a family, united in the pride we take in our singing and our being gay men. As we sing, we hope that our audiences can also share in the unity and joy expressed through the common language of music.
