Ticket sales cover only part of GMCLA’s expenses. Neither our artistic nor our youth education programming would be possible without our shining stars!

Click on an option below to contribute to our work and join our Shining Stars. If you are making a gift of $1,200 or greater, scroll to the Conductors Circle section, or contact the GMCLA office, at (424) 239-6506.

We would like to thank our Shining Stars! With your support we produce three show-stopping concerts per season, have reached over  70,000 teenagers with our Youth Outreach Programs, and are beginning to offer full term music education to youth in schools where no other opportunities exist to study choral music.

Thank you for including GMCLA in your giving. Community members like yourself make our work possible.
