Since 1993, the Empire City Men's Chorus (ECMC) has resounded with the heartbeat of humanity, transcending the realm of a traditional choral ensemble to become a transformative movement.

From its founding as The Gay Gotham Chorus, ECMC has remained dedicated to giving back to the LGBTQ community, initially supporting AIDS-related healthcare services and evolving to fearlessly confront the pressing challenges of New York City’s at-risk individuals, making a resounding impact in the greater community.

As pioneers at the forefront of men's choral music, ECMC captivates audiences with a diverse array of musical styles, embracing the full spectrum from pre-Renaissance to modern compositions, including adventurous commissions by both established and rising composers. In doing so, ECMC pushes boundaries and redefines masculinity, reflecting the diverse experiences of a true modern gentleman. Its membership represents the vibrant tapestry of New Yorkers, encompassing multiple racial and ethnic heritages, as well as a spectrum of gay, bisexual, straight, and transgender identities, creating a close-knit brotherhood that values musical excellence, fraternity, and social justice.

United by the love of music and a shared commitment to positive change, ECMC champions a creative sanctuary where every voice is heard while embracing the luminous power of song to make a lasting impact on New York City and beyond
