Gateway Men's Chorus, Band Together, Charis, Fruit Jam, Symmetry, MCCGSL Choir
Gateway Men's Chorus: Since April 1988, the Gateway Men’s Chorus has been performing to the delight of many in the St. Louis region— so much so that they’ve been called “an arts phenomenon” by The Riverfront Times. Dedicated to the freedom and message of music, the Chorus is committed to the community, locally and globally. http://www.gatewaymenschorus.org
Band Together: BandTogether is a volunteer music organization in the greater St. Louis area, open to performers of all abilities, providing musical opportunities to members of the GLBTA community in a safe and relaxed setting. www.bandtogetherstl.com
Symmetry: Melinda Ohlemiller and Wendy Bruner make-up the musical duo known as Symmetry. Wendy and Melinda met as colleagues and are strong social justice advocates who sing from their hearts. They have appeared in St. Louis area coffeehouses, charity events, churches, and concert halls for the past 6 years. In November 2007, they released their first CD, "Symmetry: Live at the Sheldon". http://www.symmetryduo.com/
Fruit Jam: Fruit Jam is a jazz / swing / dance / big band. We love to play music, and it shows when we play. We are committed to community responsibility. Our mission includes supporting organizations and events that assist, honor and respect all members of St. Louis's diverse populations. The band is GLBTA (or at least four of those!) http://fruitjamjazz.com/
CHARIS: is a lesbian chorus open to all women. We differ in age, size, ethnic background and ability, but we share goals to seek musical excellence, voice messages of social justice and create a fun and supportive place for all women. http://www.charischorus.org/index.html
MCCGSL Choir: The 65 member strong MCCGSL Choir is a radically inclusive group of performers that support the music ministry of Metropolitan Community Church of Greater Saint Louis. Most recently, the MCCGSL Choir was selected as one of the top 8 church choirs in the Midwest in the "How Sweet the Sound" contest sponsored by Verizon. The choir also performed in 2008 in Minneapolis, MN for the Metropolitan Community Churches regional meeting. www.mccgsl.org .
