The Hampton Roads Men’s Chorus came into being in the Fall of 1996. Under the direction of the Chorus’ Founder, Stuart Stanley, the chorus was created to give voice to the LGBT community of the Greater Hampton Roads region. Over the years more than 75 men have been members of the chorus.
Although the HRMC sang at several events in 1996-97, the first formal concert was performed on Saturday, December 20, 1997. Since that first concert, the Chorus has regularly performed two concerts a year as well as several cabaret shows. The Chorus has appeared in joint performances with the Lehigh Valley Gay Men’s Chorus and the Richmond Men’s Chorus. In June 2004, the Chorus presented the world premier of “Thus was my Love”. Composed by Eric Helmuth, the setting of three Elizabethan sonnets was commissioned through the Valentine Fund.
Mission Statement
The Hampton Roads Men’s Chorus fosters excellence in choral music,
reflecting a breadth of life experiences in song.
We promote a regional community embracing
the inherent worth, equality, dignity and acceptance of all people.
