Our History

The organization was founded as the Grand Canyon Men’s Chorale in 1991 in Maricopa County, Arizona. Initially known as a recital choir with members standing and singing for their audiences, a new direction was taken to turn the group into the Valley’s first and largest “show” choir, with performances including dancing and characterizations, costuming and sets, and a story or theme for each show. We have partnered with many major performing arts groups in the Valley, including the Phoenix Children’s Choir, Arizona Women in Tune, Orpheus Male Chorus of Phoenix, Desert Valley Squares, and other similar organizations. We have also performed across the state of Arizona, in selected venues across the USA, and internationally. In 2006, an umbrella organization, Grand Canyon Performing Arts, was created and the chorus’ name was changed to Phoenix Metropolitan Men’s Chorus. Two additional ensembles were created, Canyon Echoes and Harmonic Vibrations; and a dance troupe, the (ku)randa dancers, has formed. Plans for 2007/2008 include further expansion with the launch of the Phoenix Metropolitan Philharmonic Ensemble.

Our Mission

The Phoenix Metropolitan Men’s Chorus – a voice of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Intergender community – strives to be a premiere performing arts organization that unites, inspires, and entertains its members, diverse audiences, and supporting partners.
