From the singers who raise their voices with us today to those whose legacy remains forever part of the Chorus, our community is at the heart of SFGMC.
SFGMC’s smaller vocal ensembles bring distinctive musical styles, close harmonies, and plenty of personality to performances throughout the season.
The Lollipop Guild was founded as a barbershop quartet in 1979 and is recognized as the world’s first openly gay vocal ensemble. Since then, The Lollipop Guild has grown to an ensemble that features light-hearted and upbeat styles of singing, with rich harmonies and dazzling choreography.
SFGMC’s newest vocal ensemble, HomoPhonics, began in 2015 as a result of the recent a cappella craze. Focusing on musical cohesion without instruments, the group uses arrangements that feature tight, dynamic harmonies and vibrant, upbeat rhythms.

Whenever we perform, we sing for our siblings who are no longer with us. Over 300 members of the Chorus — known as the Fifth Section — have been lost to us over the years, many as a result of HIV/AIDS. Their names are memorialized in our concert programs and here. Their spirit lives on with us, and we honor their memory.
Linked names open additional memorial or biographical information where available.
