The Orlando Gay Chorus performed at 1U as the last concert of the year of Orlando’s Milk District Salon on March 11, 2023 to a full Sanctuary.

The Orlando Gay Chorus (OGC) is one of the largest mixed LGBTQ+ choruses in the country. Founded on Valentine’s Day in 1990, OGC has been a fixture in the Central Florida area for over 32 years. In addition to the full chorus, OGC has four small ensembles that performed at the annual concerts and cabarets, as well as at community and private events: OUTLOUD!, the oldest running ensemble; Nothin’ But Treble, the all-upper voices ensemble; Menage, the jazz ensemble; and Spectrum, the mixed ensemble.

The Orlando Gay Chorus is comprised of LGBTQ+ individuals (and many allies) from all walks of life, all ages, and all backgrounds. OGC warmly welcomes all who would like to join them in their goal of changing hearts and minds in Central Florida and throughout the world.

We thank the Music Team and our choir director, Aubrey C.

Look ahead to the 2023-2024 Milk District Salon Series.
