OUR MISSION

At Heartland Men’s Chorus, diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging are not just aspirations — they are the heart of who we are. From our founding in 1986 to today, we have been a chorus where voices too often silenced can sing freely, authentically, and with pride.

​

We celebrate diversity in all its forms, affirming that our strength lies in the wide range of identities, backgrounds, and perspectives represented on our stage, in our audiences, and throughout our community.

​

We are committed to equity and access, ensuring that financial barriers, physical ability, or social identity never prevent someone from participating fully in our music or our mission. Through intentional partnerships, accessible performances, and community engagement, we extend our reach to those who may not always see themselves reflected in traditional spaces.

​

Inclusion and belonging define our chorus. We create spaces where every member is welcomed, respected, and valued, knowing that our collective harmony grows richer when every singer and supporter feels at home.

​

Guided by our mission to build community, celebrate pride, and empower authenticity — and our vision of inspiring a world of love and acceptance — we pledge to hold ourselves accountable to this work. Our chorus will continue to evolve, listen, and lead, ensuring that the music we make is matched by the justice, compassion, and belonging we practice.
