Join us for an unforgettable evening at the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus Crescendo Gala, a celebration of music, community, and the power of coming together. This elegant event will take place on April 5, 2025 at the Westin St. Francis, offering guests an opportunity to immerse themselves in an evening of fine dining and live entertainment as we honor champions who are making a profound impact on the LGBTQIA+ community.

This prestigious event has previously honored remarkable individuals and organizations, including Tribal Chairman Greg Sarris and the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, Governor Gavin Newsom and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, Mayor London Breed, and Kristin Chenoweth, among others.

The Crescendo Gala supports the artistic and outreach initiatives of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, including our work with the Chan National Queer Arts Center and the Reaching Youth Through Music (RHYTHM) program. The evening will feature captivating performances by the Chorus, moving testimonials, and exciting auction items, all designed to raise critical funds for our mission to champion equality and spread joy through music.

Whether you’re a long-time supporter or new to the SFGMC family, the Crescendo Gala promises to be a night of elegance, empowerment, and connection. Dress in your finest attire and prepare to be inspired as we come together to celebrate.

More details will follow. Until then, save the date!
