Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles will present the 2023 gala on Sunday, June 25 at Walt Disney Concert Hall immediately following the 3 p.m. matinee performance of Disney PRIDE in Concert – a multimedia musical celebration featuring GMCLA’s 200 singers, a 25-piece orchestra and stunning video projections, with almost 50 songs from over 20 beloved Disney films and the Disney Parks.

At the annual gala, outstanding individuals, companies and institutions are honored with GMCLA’s Voice Award. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass will be presented with GMCLA’s Civic Voice Award, and Disney Concerts will be presented with its Artistic Voice Award. Television host and journalist, Melvin Robert (“Extra” senior correspondent, Fox’s “Good Day L.A.” anchor) will host the reception and dinner event, which will include a silent and live auction. Funds raised will support GMCLA’s Alive Music Project in schools and its free public concert events.

“We are thrilled to recognize Mayor Bass for her decades of service to the LGBTQIA community as both an advocate and a leader,” said GMCLA executive director and producer Lou Spisto. “In 2019, Mayor Bass voted in favor of the Equality Act, which would ban discrimination against LGBTQIA people. Mayor Bass has a long history of legislative work that has positively advanced civil rights, justice and equality for all.”

Individual gala tickets are $750 and $1,250, and table sponsorships are available for 10 guests at $7,500, $12,500 and $25,000.
