Merry AND Bright
Whether you find meaning in the glow of the menorah, the unity candle of Kwanzaa, the twinkle of Christmas lights, or the serene hush of a snowy evening, Merry and Bright invites you to embrace the season in all its vibrant diversity. With soul-stirring arrangements of holiday classics, contemporary winter ballads, and festive songs from a variety of traditions, this concert offers something for everyone. It’s a tapestry of sound that reflects the multifaceted beauty of the holidays and the communities that celebrate them.
Expect laughter, goosebumps, and maybe even a few joyful tears as you experience a night of festive cheer and powerful community spirit. Proudly uplifting LGBTQIA+ voices, this show is a space where everyone is seen, heard, and celebrated. In a world that can often feel divided, the RIGMC offers a warm reminder that harmony is possible when we sing together.
Celebrate the season. Celebrate each other. Be Merry. Be Bright.

Singing in Rhode Island Since 1995
In 1995, twelve gay men responded to an ad in a local LGBTQ magazine seeking singers who shared a passion for choral music. That first gathering became the Providence Gay Men’s Chorus (PGMC).
Over three decades, we’ve transformed in unexpected ways. We’ve rehearsed in countless spaces and performed on stages throughout Rhode Island. Our reach has expanded, our music has evolved, and our ties to communities across the state have strengthened.
In 2020, celebrating our 25th anniversary, we became the Rhode Island Gay Men’s Chorus (RIGMC) to honor our statewide presence and mission.
