Memory Keepers Initiative: History of the SF Gay Men's Chorus

This third of four programs from the Memory Keepers Initiative charts the four decade history of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, which in many ways is also the history of the local queer community

SFGMC's Artistic Director Jacob Stensberg moderates a panel that includes longtime members Robert Rufo, Jay Davidson and Thomas Kennard

This conversation was recorded live at the Chan National Queer Arts Center on May 16, 2024.

The Memory Keepers Initiative is an oral history project intended to uplift and preserve the stories of our visionary LGBTQ+ elders. By doing so, we hope to foster intergenerational connection among LGBTQ+ communities and our allies, as well as inspire a bigger, brighter future by learning and understanding our history.

Memory Keepers Initiative is produced by The San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, Christopher Verdugo, CEO and Jacob Stensberg, Artistic Director. The producer of Memory Keepers Initiative is Scott Walton.
