Vision Statement
Many voices, singing as one, the North Coast Men's Chorus will be an integral and valued member of the Northeast Ohio Arts Community through the music we sing, the pride we feel, and the people we cherish.

Mission Statement
The North Coast Men’s Chorus is a community-based musical organization which affirms the gay experience by presenting entertaining, quality performances for diverse audiences; providing a supportive environment for its members; and promoting a positive presence in the gay community and beyond.


Chorus History
Since the Chorus' inception in 1988, Northeast Ohio's largest gay chorus has more than doubled in size to over 100 members - and our audience numbers have done likewise. NCMC began offering two performances of every production during the 2001-02 Season following sellouts of all three performances during the 2000-01 Season. The beginning of our 2006-07 Season, our Holiday show, "A Joyful Noise", saw a three-show performance schedule and very appreciative audiences.

Members of the Chorus represent the widest possible range of diversity: from doctors, lawyers, and bankers, to service workers and everything in between. Our programming reflects the same level of diversity, with singing, dancing and comedy, through music from around the world. The performances have become known for taking the audience through a range of emotions - laughter, tears, giggling, and foot-stomping fun. As one audience member, Sally of Medina, Ohio, noted, "We have had season tickets for several years and I have to say the Chorus gets better and better each year. I don't know how Rich does it, but he has the guys singing with their hearts and it shows. Thank you from the bottom of my heart." Barbara Willberg, co-founder of A Joyful Noise Neighborhood Music School located in Cleveland, Ohio's west-side neighborhood said, "I, personally, was tickled to encounter your antics as a group and am happy to have found a new group's concerts to attend. Thank you for becoming a part of the village that raises these children."

Coastliners
The North Coast Men's Chorus celebrated specialty ensemble, The Coastliners are an integral part of the NCMC. Tight harmonies, fabulous costuming, outrageous humor and intricate dance moves are cashés of their unforgettable performances. These men have dazzled our audiences in our subscription performances, but are also our unofficial Ambassadors to the Community-at-large, performing regularly throughout the Greater Cleveland area for a wide variety of organizations. The Coastliners welcome opportunities to sing throughout the Greater Cleveland area. We especially enjoy singing when it fits with our Mission and Vision. The Coastliners are generally available from September to June. If you would like more information about booking The Coastliners, please contact us at pr@ncmchorus.org.
