Reprised by popular demand! A tribute to gay composers and a celebration of the lives of gay men in songs by Poulenc, Tchaikovsky, Griffes, Bernstein, Porter, Blitzstein and many others. After last year’s rapturously received performance, Anthony Tommasini wrote in The New York Times: “Such programs can easily fall into the trap of social politics and turn maudlin, agenda driven and campy. This one was insightful and imaginative, touching and funny.” Read the rave online.

This performance will be followed by a complimentary wine reception with the artists.
