SUMMARY:Boston Gay Men's Chorus presents Joyful & Triumphant & Gay!
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the season with the joyous and triumphant sounds of the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus as they perform traditional favorites and modern classics. \nThe Boston Gay Men’s Chorus (BGMC) is one of New England’s largest and most successful community-based choruses. Founded in 1982\, the voice ensemble of some 200 voices is celebrated for its outstanding musicianship\, creative programming\, groundbreaking community outreach\, and an innovative educational program. Under the dynamic leadership of Music Director Reuben M. Reynolds III\, the BGMC sings a wide spectrum of classical and popular music and creates social change by providing a positive\, affirming image of the LGBTQ+ community. The Chorus is heard live by thousands of people each season and millions more through recording\, television and internet broadcasts. CBS-WBZ named the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus one of the “top 5” choruses in the city of Boston. The Boston Business Journal has named BGMC one of the top 10 performing arts organizations in the city each year since 2018. BGMC is a Cultural Ambassador — being the first LGBTQ+ chorus to perform in Poland in 2005\, the Middle East in 2015 and in South Africa in June 2018. \nThe Chorus’ performance of Joyful & Triumphant & Gay at Mechanics Hall on December 4 is its first in-person holiday show since 2019.
