About Turtle Creek Chorale Inc
Turtle Creek Chorale (TCC) is a Dallas-based men’s chorus founded in 1980 that presents a full subscription concert series, ensemble performances, and community education programs. The organization describes itself as "primarily a gay men’s chorus" while welcoming all who identify as male, and it performs at major venues across the Dallas–Fort Worth area and beyond.
TCC remains an active, donor-facing 501(c)(3) arts organization with an established web presence and regular programming; recent organizational activity includes the announcement of its 44th season in 2024 and ongoing season activity and blog posts through 2026. Leadership changes in 2024 included the announcement on May 14, 2024 that Dr. Dawson B. Taylor would serve as Executive Director (he assumed the role November 1, 2024), and the chorale continued presenting mainstage and ensemble concerts, benefit galas, and community events into 2025–2026.
