PGMC celebrates 30 years of song and passion. We showcase our best from across the decades:
Audience favorites including Madonna hits, Joyful, Joyful from Sister Act, and It’s Raining Men
Choral classics including Brothers Sing On and Quest Unending
Gay commissions including Allons! Allons! ["Let’s go!"] from Open Road, with lyrics by Walt Whitman
The featured work is the world premiere of Raise Our Voice. This newly commissioned work boasts a libretto by PGMC member Chip Alfred with a composition by our Collaborative Accompanist, Michael Djupstrom. The lyrics for the four-piece song cycle were based on interviews with PGMC members. The work reflects the sentiments and emotions the Chorus has evoked in us, from our initial nervousness ("Could my fly be down?") to the love and solidarity many of us have found.
It's hard to believe we've grown from a group of four men singing carols in the gay bars to the premier men's chorus in the Philadelphia region, more than one hundred members strong. Our concert celebrates the highlights and the milestones of our history, and the family we have created here together.
Feel the legacy.
