My chorus meets my (old) chorus(!), in rehearsal and at the Queen Elizabeth Hall

Our first tour stop was London, where we began with a joint rehearsal with the London Gay Men's Chorus.

My first impression of NYCGMC in 2005 was of how similar it was to LGMC, in its values, its goals, and the minutiae of its day to day workings. I had a strong hunch that the two groups would just mesh - two choirs  separated at birth but on different continents.

So it was truly amazing and very personally moving nearly 10 years later to be able to bring them together in the same room. So many potential friendships that only I could see.

The initial comment of Eugene, an NYCGMC Baritone, said it all, watching their choreography practice: 'They are US!'
