Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus-Nickel City Treble Makers

Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus (BGMC) was founded in 2001.  Nickel City Treble Makers (NCTM) was founded in 2025.  Both groups have shared mission, vision, and values:

MISSION: United through song and creating accessible queer spaces for change.
VISION: We envision queer choral arts as a visible, valued, and transformative presence -
shaping culture, uplifting voices, and inspiring change.
CORE VALUES: We are dedicated to the highest standard of musicianship to
deliver powerful and moving performances. We celebrate every voice, creating a space where all
are respected and belong through music. We foster meaningful connections
within our organization and across Western New York to build a supportive,
affirming community. Rooted in social justice, we use our voices to promote visibility,
challenge prejudice, and advocate for queer equity and dignity. We find joy and pride in our shared purpose, celebrating the art of choral music and the vibrant diversity of our community.
