12/8, SVGMC’S Fabulous Queer Concert Extravaganza Rings in the Holiday Season

Dec 8 and 9, 8-9:45pm; and Dec 10, 3-4:45 pm

Paired with SVGMC twists and spins on holiday mainstays, TOGETHER will include songs performed in Hebrew and Spanish. And what queer choir’s holiday repertoire would be complete without Broadway music? The two musical arrangements this year are represented by “Sparklejollytwinklejingely,” from the Broadway musical Elf, and “Come What May,” from Moulin Rouge. And speaking of the Great White Way, TOGETHER will also feature “The Chanukah Song (We Are Lights),” by renowned Broadway composer Stephen Schwartz.

And in SVGMC’s ongoing efforts to celebrate and spotlight a diverse world, TOGETHER will showcase a world premiere composition, commissioned by SVGMC, by African American composer Reginal S. Wright that highlights kinship and community.

“Our holiday program was designed as a vocal representation of our diverse community of singers,” says SVGMC Board President Kevin Brownstein. “From a traditional childhood Spanish-language Christmas song to music celebrating Hannukah. And of course, there are many more songs in between, including a 30-second version of ‘Merry Christmas,’ a piece about fruitcakes, and secular repertoire symbolic of the season.”

This concert will also serve as the official debut of its new small group ensemble, Desperate Measures.
