GALA is a gathering of gay and lesbian choruses from around the world. This summer EGMC will be traveling to Minneapolis, for our first appearance in the quadrennial Festival. The event gives EGMC an opportunity to not only represent Eugene and the Willamette Valley, but to sing, network and advance our mission of uplifting and creating LGBTQ+ visibility in our home community. The scholarships will be used to cover transportation and festival costs for singers who would like to attend, but need financial support.
