A Bronx native, Kevin Gallagher joined the Chorus as ASL interpreter in 1981 after studying at New York School for the Deaf and interpreting theater in NYC. He has been the guest interpreter for numerous GALA choruses from the U.S., Canada and Europe and learned AUSLAN (Australian sign) for the Chorus’s Australia and New Zealand tour. Career highlights include: being the first interpreter at the re-opening of Carnegie Hall in 1986, interpreting for cultural and athletic events at Gay Games and a signed music video of True Colors on KCTS Channel 9.

In 2007 and 2008 Kevin was one of five regional teachers selected to represent the U.S. in Jordan.
