The History of Our Name: The Council Oak Tree

Our name comes from the Creek Council Oak Tree located at 18th & Cheyenne in downtown Tulsa. In 1836 the Loachapoka Creek Indians kindled a ceremonial fire using live coals they had carried from their Alabama homeland over a “trail of tears. ” Of the 630 that began the trip, 161 died. This great Burr Oak tree became the site for Tulsa’s first town hall, first conference room, first church and first court of law. This revered tree still lives and remains a symbol of our early settlers’ strong spirit.
 

It is in this same spirit of determination in the midst of adversity, of hope for a more inclusive future, and of the promise of new beginnings, that the Vocal Pride Foundation is rooted in the history of the Council Oak. 

The Council Oak Mens Chorale (COMC) is a group of talented men who share a love of music and enjoy performing together. We are committed to producing high quality performances of choral music from a variety of genres and eras, while celebrating our shared identity as gay and affirming men. We strive to provide a positive musical experience for our audiences and to create a sense of community and camaraderie among our members. Our performances are often the highlight of many events, and we are passionate about bringing joy and entertainment to those who witness our shows. We are proud to be a part of the LGBTQ+ community and to use our music to create a safe, supportive and joyful environment.
