We were honored to welcome the Des Moines Diversity Chorus for their Around the World in Song concert. It was a wonderful evening of music, joy, and community.

We are so thankful for this incredible group and grateful that they choose to rehearse in our space. Grace is better because they are here. 🎶

Thank you to Des Moines Young Artists' Theatre for including us in your LGBTQ+ Spotlight before the Laramie Project that opens next week! Make sure that you get tickets to see this show to continue to spread awareness about LGBQT hate and the life of Matthew Shepard.

Des Moines Young Artists Theatre would like to put a spotlight on one of the local LGBTQ+ organizations, Des Moines Diversity Chorus.

The Des Moines Diversity Chorus (DMDC) is a one-of-a-kind choral group in the greater Des Moines area, focused on encouraging respect and appreciation for people through music.

DMDC was organized in June 1997, and is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, receiving support and funding from a variety of individuals, grants and corporate gifts.

Our music reflects the traditions of a variety of ethnic and cultural groups.

We invite other cultural and ethnic groups and individuals to be a part of our concerts, and our chorus, to give visibility and voice to performers of varied national, ethnic, racial, religious, age, ability and sexuality backgrounds.

Check them out on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/dsmdiversitychorus/ for more information about upcoming shows and their organization.
