The "Love Tour" by SFGMC aims to bring their message of unity, love, and hope to various communities in the heartland. From July 7-9, 2024, the 300-member Chorus, led by Artistic Director Jacob Stensberg, will tour Iowa and Nebraska, partnering with local LGBTQ choruses and advocacy groups at each stop. The tour will conclude with a headline performance at the 2024 GALA Chorus Festival in Minneapolis where the Des Moines Gay Men’s will also be performing.
In Des Moines, the SFGMC will join the Des Moines Gay Men’s Chorus on stage, creating a vibrant and inclusive musical experience. This concert will not only feature exceptional musical performances but also highlight local LGBTQ+ nonprofits, including Iowa Safe Schools, which will help create a VIP Experience for children and ensure a memorable event for all attendees.
"We are incredibly fortunate to partner with the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus for this event," said DMGMC Artistic Director Eric Shepard "Their dedication to spreading love and unity through music aligns perfectly with our own mission. We look forward to sharing the stage and creating an unforgettable experience for our community."
