The Twin Cities Gay Men's Chorus presented programming which gave voice to marginalized communities while entertaining and enlightening. In addition to sustained audiences, the season's programming received overwhelmingly positive audience feedback. TCGMC also created and shared well-received videos of 'Seven Last Words of the Unarmed' telling the story of black men killed by police. 2: The Twin Cities Gay Men's Chorus maintained and exceeded the size of the holiday concert audience as compared to FY19. Increasing the number of tickets for LGBTQ+ service organizations, an increase in accessibility to students and low-income constituents as well as more targeted advertising through social media to reach audiences identified in the strategic plan.
