Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Mainstage Concerts
The LVMC creates and fosters community through live performances and outreach via 85+ members and volunteers. Social justice, inclusion, diversity, and equity are at the forefront of LVMC's programming and mission. Join us at one of our three signature mainstage concerts across Spring, Summer, & Holiday! From humble beginnings of 10 members and 30 patrons, we now boast 85+ active members and 2,000+ patrons in the audience annually at three fully-produced Mainstage Concerts with many Community Outreach Events interspersed throughout. Patrons describe attending an LVMC concert as “experiencing joy”.
Outreach Concerts
We extend safe spaces to the Las Vegas Valley with members giving 12,000+ community service hours annually. We ensure we “use our voices for good” through Community Outreach events including World AIDS Day, Las Vegas Aviators Pride Night, Latin Grammy Awards "Los Producers" benefiting the Michael J. Fox Foundation, Las Vegas Pride, Golden Rainbow, Las Vegas Prime Timers, Las Vegas Clark County Library District benefits, Christ Church Episcopal Community Concerts, Arthur Murray Las Vegas Showcase, and Gateway Arts Foundation. Each year in partnership with the Clark County School District, we co-produce "Sing Out: A Tenor/ Bass Choral Festival" intended to bolster confidence and lifelong love of singing in our community's young men. As a GALA (Gay and Lesbian Choruses of America) Chorus, we will again represent Las Vegas and Nevada at GALA Festival 2024 in Minneapolis alongside 15,000+ singers in five days of singing, education, connecting, and creating at the largest LGBTQ choral even
Auditions
Join the Las Vegas Men's Chorus at an open rehearsal and see what all the FUN is about. Open Rehearsals and Auditions are the first rehearsal of each mainstage concert cycle during Spring, Summer, & Holiday. We are more than just a chorus. We are a family. We are a membership, mission-driven, community that creates safe spaces through musical experiences which inspire all of us to be stronger together. We create the change we wish to see in the world by being inclusive and welcoming to all regardless of race, age, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, or other identities.

Financials
Revenue vs. expenses: breakdown
Financial data
Las Vegas Men's Chorus
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
