About Us


Windy City Performing Arts (WCPA) was incorporated in 1983 as an independent not-for-profit and is home to the Windy City Gay Chorus and the Windy City Treble Quire.

Support


Our choruses create moments that inspire people to change the world. But, as is the case with every not-for-profit (501c3) arts organization, ticket sales, dues, and grants only cover 60% of our operating costs. Our friends help us fill the gap. And your donation is fully tax deductible to the extent allowable by IRS code.

SENDING LOVE AND STRENGTH

TO OUR COMMUNITY

The members of the Windy City Gay Chorus and Windy City Treble Quire are devastated by the continued attacks on our LGBTQ+ community. We mourn with the LGBTQ+ community at Club Q in Colorado Springs and send strength and love to all who are grieving.  

These hateful acts of violence must stop. Let us all use our voices to condemn and stand up against these senseless acts that target our LGBTQ+ friends, family and loved ones.
