Letter from Leadership
We are delighted to share that BGMC has completed another extraordinary season—one marked by powerful music, deep connection, and a renewed sense of momentum. Throughout the year, our stages came alive with performances that celebrated joy, resilience, and the remarkable talent within our chorus, reminding us why this work matters now more than ever.
Together, we welcomed thousands of audience members into concert halls across Greater Boston, creating shared moments of inspiration and belonging. With more than 200 dedicated singers lending their voices, BGMC continued to demonstrate the extraordinary impact of community music-making and the strength that comes from singing together.
This season also reflected our continued growth and evolution as an organization. Building on recent successes, we expanded our reach, deepened relationships with audiences both new and returning, and strengthened our presence across the region—ensuring that our music resonates far beyond a single performance. At the heart of the season was our ongoing commitment to community, visibility, and advocacy. Through partnerships, storytelling, and intentional programming, BGMC used the stage as a platform to celebrate diversity, affirm LGBTQ+ lives, and promote a message of inclusion and pride. Each performance was more than a concert—it was a declaration of who we are and the future we are working to create.
As we reflect on the 2024–2025 season, we are reminded that BGMC is about more than music alone. It is about building a welcoming home, amplifying voices, and fostering connection through artistry. None of this would be possible without your steadfast support. Because of you, we continue to grow, to dream boldly, and to ensure that every voice is heard.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
