Flying House Productions - Home of Seattle Men's Chorus and Seattle Women's Chorus

Formed in 1979, our organization has grown to house not only the two choruses, but a thriving publishing arm and concert performance series that presents groups and individuals from around the world. We are Washington state's largest and most influential choral organization. Flying House Productions ranks third among the state's music organizations in terms of budget, audience exposure, and ensemble size.

Seattle Men's Chorus is the largest community chorus in America. It is also the largest gay men's chorus in the world! Seattle Women's Chorus made its world premier on stage April 2002 and has quickly grown to over 200 singers. Each chorus has a base of over 80 volunteers and associate members that support both choruses.

More than 40,000 people attend the subscription series annually. Thousands more see each chorus in other local performances every year. Since 1994, over 2.5 million viewers have seen Seattle Men's Chorus in their award-winning television program "Swellegant Elegance" which continues to air on PBS stations across the nation.

Flying House Productions publishes its own programs and lifestyle magazine. Flying House also presents gay and lesbian positive performers like Margaret Cho, Cris Williamson, Lea DeLaria, Bruce Vilanch, Kate Clinton, Holly Near, Scott Thompson, Suzanne Westenhoefer, and David Sedaris.
