Vision Statement Many voices, singing as one, the North Coast Men's Chorus will be an integral and valued member of the Northeast Ohio Arts Community through the music we sing, the pride we feel, and the people we cherish. Mission Statement The North Coast Men's Chorus is a community-based musical organization which affirms the gay experience by presenting entertaining, quality performances for diverse audiences; providing a supportive environment for its members; and promoting a positive presence in the gay community and beyond. Chorus Events The North Coast Men's Chorus has an active season with three major concerts in the Cleveland Area. The 2009-2010 season begins with our annual holiday concert, held at The Hanna Theater in Playhouse Square. Our spring concert, "Too Marvelous for Words, The American Songbook," held on April 10 & 11; and summer concert, "Divalicious!," held on June 19 and 20 are both held at Cleveland State University's Waetjen Auditorium. The North Coast Men's Chorus also performs at smaller venues and special events around Northeastern Ohio. Chorus History Since the Chorus' inception in 1988, Northeast Ohio's largest gay chorus has more than doubled in size to over 100 members - and our audience numbers have done likewise. NCMC began offering two performances of every production during the 2001-02 Season following sellouts of all three performances during the 2000-01 Season. The beginning of our 2006-07 Season, our Holiday show, "A Joyful Noise", saw a three-show performance schedule and very appreciative audiences. Members of the Chorus represent the widest possible range of diversity: from doctors, lawyers, and bankers, to service workers and everything in between. Our programming reflects the same level of diversity, with singing, dancing and comedy, through music from around the world. The performances have become known for taking the audience through a range of emotions - laughter, tears, giggling, and foot-stomping fun.
