The New Mexico Gay Men's Chorus is a group of 36 men conducted by Matthew Moore; accompanied by Stephen Montoya. Founded in 1981, the group has sung throughout New Mexico and in five other states and in Canada. Also on this Christmas concert with the chorus is the Stu MacAskie Trio.

On this program are popular Christmas favorites in new arrangements by Stu MacAskie and Timothy Takach (a singer with Cantus), as well as lush, new settings of "O Magnum Mysterium" and "Lux Aurumque." Humor by the group is highlighted in "Coming Out on Christmas" and "Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy."
