Our History: NGMC’s Beginnings

From its inception in the summer of 2010, NGMC has continued to grow in size and musical stature. September 13, 2010, marked the first rehearsal, bringing together 16 men from all walks of life—friends and strangers, young and old, gay and gay-supportive. NGMC’s first concert on December 11, 2010, entitled “Peace, Peace”, was held at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Reno. Since then, we have performed more than 25 concerts and have recently entered our 13th season. We continue to increase our ranks, gaining new members each season while continuing our mission to entertain our audiences with new and challenging works.
