Tucson Metropolitan Community Chorus

“Our mission is to foster community through song. We have been accomplishing this through several concerts and outreach events throughout the year.We have 3 major events, a holiday series, a spring series, and a June show. This year our Holiday event was a series of 3 shows in which we sang to over 600 people.Our Spring event was a series of 2 shows. We were able to sing to over 550 people at this event.During our Spectrum show we brought together three choruses from the Phoenix metro area as well as another Tucson chorus who all helped us foster community through song. All our communities benefited from this event. We were able to perform for over 400 people at the Spectrum concert. We are always looking for other ways to reach out to our community. This year we were able to perform at the University of Arizona with several other choruses to promote and remind the community that there is no room for prejudice in our community. We sang to over 500 people during this show.We also sang at several other outreach events including Tucson Pride, Interfaith gathering of over 8 congregations to a full house of 300, and Aids walk where we sang to several thousand people. We also joined in the Tucson Big Sing and the Womens march.Our chorus was instrumental in starting Voices Like Ours. We joined with Reveille members and traveled to Ajo, AZ to perform with the Ajo high school band. All monies raised were to benefit the high school band. This concert also fostered community and promoted non-violent inclusivity, diversity, and positivity.To sum up we have been fostering community through song and helping to promote a non-violent inclusive and positive atmosphere for diversity at each of our events and through all our interactions within the community.”
