The Organization Formed in 1979, the organization has grown to house both Seattle Men's Chorus (SMC) and Seattle Women's Chorus (SWC). Flying House Productions (FHP), the parent company for the Choruses, is the State of Washington's largest and most influential choral organization and ranks third among the state's music organizations in terms of budget, audience exposure, and ensemble size. Flying House Productions is home to two of the largest community choruses in America: Seattle Men's Chorus, founded in 1979, which is also the largest gay men's chorus in the world with over 300 singing members; and Seattle Women's Chorus, which made its premier on stage in 2002 and has quickly grown to over 200 singers. Combined the Choruses are larger than the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Each Chorus currently has a small ensemble of 9 to 11 members each (Captain Smartypants and Sensible Shoes), which further the mission of the organization by performing throughout the Pacific Northwest as ambassadors for the larger Choruses. Our Vision A world that accepts and values its gay and lesbian citizens. Our Mission Seattle Men's Chorus and Seattle Women's Chorus entertain, enlighten, unify and heal our audience and members, using the power of words and music to recognize the value of gay and straight people and their relationships.
