Cincinnati Mens Chorus

The Cincinnati Men's Chorus (CMC) is a volunteer, not-for-profit community chorus, incorporated as the Queen City Performing Arts Organization. CMC pursues the dual goals of musical excellence and the promotion of social justice. Through the medium of choral singing, CMC strives to promote respect for all groups and sexual orientations. The chorus is open to both gay and gay-supportive men, and provides social and fellowship opportunities for its members.

The Cincinnati Men's Chorus was born in the summer of 1991, when nine men, including three choral directors, came forward to form a steering committee. With the help of Dr. Catherine Roma, director of MUSE, Cincinnati's Women's Choir, the first rehearsal on October 1 brought together sixty men from varied backgrounds. December 18, 1991 marked the debut performance of CMC with a holiday concert entitled "Tidings of Pride and Joy" performed at Cincinnati's First Unitarian Church.
