Welcome to the 14th season of the Gay Men’s Chorus of South Florida. We have a spectacular season planned where our chorus proudly embraces the theme, United We Sing. Celebrate The Holidays concerts will begin our season with joy, warmth, and a sense of togetherness like never before. We have a specially commissioned piece written for our chorus entitled Don’t Say Gay, I am so excited to premiere this very important piece of music. Our March concert, Hooray for Hollywood, will pay tribute to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, where dreams take flight and diversity shines. Through our music, we will celebrate the power of storytelling and the bonds that connect us across all cultures and backgrounds. Our Pride: Then Now and Forever concert will reflect on the remarkable journey of the LGBTQ+ community through the years. We will honor the resilience and strength of those who paved the way, celebrate our progress, and focus on the commonality that we all see and share with each other.
This season is so important as it is a testament to the unwavering strength within our chorus and community. It is a celebration of our shared commitment to come together and amplify our voices in the face of adversity. Thank you so much for being an integral part of our journey. Together, we will make the 14th season of the Gay Men’s Chorus a testament to the healing power of music and unity. So, let the music begin, and may our voices continue to resonate with love, hope, and UNITY!
