We are a non-auditioned community choir based in Auckland. Going strong since 1992. It was the first-established gay and lesbian choir in New Zealand and in 2017 celebrated 25 years.
We generally hold two concerts per year in June and November. We also participate at rainbow community events such as Auckland Pride month and World Aids Day. We are members of the New Zealand Choral Federation, and participate in combined choral events like "Singfest".
In 2019 GALS performed in Canberra at Australasia's "Out & Loud" choral festival - we had the honour of hosting this event in 2010 and 2016. Our most distant travels took us to Dublin in 2014, for the European "Various Voices" Festival. Members have also attended the 4-yearly American LGBTIQ, "GALA Choruses Festival"
