Gulf Coast Messiah Chorus circa 2015, directed by Paul McGahie. Our current director is Joy Mehrtens.
Since December 1952, GCMC has been a musical tradition enjoyed by thousands of people along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. The volunteer chorus presents Christmas and Easter performances of selections from G.F. Handel's timeless oratorio, Messiah.
The Gulf Coast Messiah Chorus has cancelled their Spring 2025 rehearsals and performances. The Chorus will resume rehearsals in October for our Christmas performances and hope you will join us then!
