AGMC welcomes Texas State’s Dr. Thomas Rinn as artistic director
Music is a powerful force that both soothes and excites its listeners. Music uplifts, it inspires and — perhaps most importantly — music unites. For Dr. Thomas Rinn, the new artistic director of the Austin Gay Men’s Chorus, music has given him the opportunity to bring voices together in a community.
“I am honored to join the Austin Gay Men’s Chorus and lead the group in its next chapter as it emerges as one of the premier musical organizations in the vibrant Austin arts community,” Rinn said. “The position combines my passions for tenor-bass chorus, building community through choral participation, and using music as a tool for advocacy. I look forward to building on the rich history of the chorus, cultivating a safe place for LGBTQ+ singers and allies to share music, leading the group in fierce advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community and delivering entertaining performances both locally and on the national stage.”
