Welcome
Gay Men's Chorus of Tokyo
Be heard. Be seen. Be proud.
About
Who We Are
GMCT is a community-based gay men’s chorus in Tokyo. We held our debut concert in October 2026 to a full house, and we’re now preparing for our next concert in April 2027.
We welcome singers of all levels — whether you have years of choral experience or have never sung in a choir before.
We sing a wide range of music, including classical, musical theatre, gospel, and pop.
At GMCT, we believe in creating a safe and joyful space where gay men can sing freely and proudly. Through music, we aim to build lasting friendships and contribute to a more open and connected Tokyo.
Our Mission
What We Stand For
GMCT held its debut concert in October 2026 and is now preparing for its next stage. Three things matter most to us as a chorus.
- 01
Singing as a Gay Men’s Chorus
Rehearsals, concerts, and everything we share — we do it all under the name Gay Men’s Chorus of Tokyo.
- 02
Music that reaches our audience
Because we sing under this name, we want the music itself to be something people enjoy. We rehearse regularly to make choral music that truly connects.
- 03
A place you want to come back to
For those who sing and for those who come to listen, we want it to be a good time — a place worth returning to.

Visit a Rehearsal
We warmly invite you to join us for up to three free trial rehearsals before becoming a member. No previous choir experience is required—just a love of singing.
By taking part in an actual rehearsal, you'll experience our atmosphere, meet our members, and see how we make music together.
Think of it as a chance to see if GMCT feels right for you—with no pressure or obligation to join.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Please feel free to ask if you have any questions.
Is it okay if I have never sung in a choir before?
Yes, absolutely. You are welcome to join regardless of your previous experience.During rehearsals, we gradually learn basic vocal techniques and how to read sheet music together.
Do I have to attend every single practice?
We encourage you to maintain a healthy balance between choir, work, and personal life. However, as we create music together as a group, regular attendance is important. If you are unable to attend a rehearsal, please let us know in advance.
Is there an audition?
When you join, we will conduct a simple voice check to understand your vocal range and tone. This is only to help us assign you to the appropriate voice part — it is not an audition or selection process.
Do you ever perform under a different group name?
No. We conduct all our activities under the name “Gay Men’s Chorus of Tokyo.” This is not intended as a political statement, but rather a reflection of our belief in singing and creating music openly and authentically. We will never require you to come out to your workplace or family. Your privacy is fully respected.
