Dublin Gay
Men’s Chorus

Established in 2012, Dublin Gay Men’s Chorus (DGMC) is one of the finest choirs in Ireland, showcasing the unique sound of an all-male choir. DGMC prides itself on both technical excellence and a diverse approach to repertoire. The choir is a safe space for gay men and actively fosters a strong sense of community among its 70+ members.

DGMC has performed at some of Ireland’s most prestigious venues, including the iconic Gate Theatre, Áras an Uachtaráin for the President of Ireland, the Irish Parliament Leinster House to mark the 30th anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality, and the National Concert Hall alongside the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.

The choir has attended many national and international LGBT+ choral festivals and competitions, including Navan Choral Festival (2025), winning 1st Prize in the Popular Music category and 2nd Prize in the Male Voice category. DGMC also attended Various Voices (Munich 2018), Hand in Hand (Cardiff 2019), Various Voices (Bologna 2023), and Hand in Hand (Bristol 2024), and will attend Various Voices (Brussels 2026). The choir was honoured to be named RTÉ Lyric FM’s ‘Carols for Christmas’ Community Choir winner 2024.
