This holiday, step into a winter wonderland where big band brass meets timeless carols, and tradition gets a toe-tapping twist.

Picture it: a stage brimming with energy, tight harmonies, nostalgic flair, and enough swing to make Santa shimmy. With a fresh, festive setlist and a brand-new venue to match the magic, Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus invites you to a holiday celebration that’s whimsical, iconic, and totally unforgettable.
