Member Bios
Our members hail from all walks of life, from different generations, and from all over New Hampshire... and we even have a few from Maine and Massachusetts! Read about these great guys — where they grew up, what they do for work, where they went to school, what they do in their spare time when they’re not rehearsing, that special moment when they discovered they love to sing, and their thoughts about NHGMC and their chorus brethren. As of our Winter 2011 season, there are 26 singing members in the group.
