The East Bay Gay Men’s Chorus and two special guests will hold their benefit concert here at MPC on May 14th and 15th. Come listen to their “Pride and Joy”, and be a part of contributing to great causes!
“Pride & Joy” brings a vast array of repertoire from George Frederic Handel and Stephen Paulus to The Pointer Sisters and even Santana. Our program includes two sumptuous pieces by the late Dave Brubeck, and a new work by Jack Curtis Dubowsky. We are also honored to premiere a new piece by world-renowned composer Gabriela Lena Frank. Ms. Frank is one of the foremost American composers and has crafted this work specifically for OEBGMC.
We are thrilled to have two guest groups share the stage with OEBGMC. The Berkeley Community Chamber Singers, currently under the direction of Derek Tam, is a small a cappella ensemble of the Berkeley Community Chorus and Orchestra. The Lesbian/Gay Chorus of San Francisco (LGCSF), established over 35 years ago, is one of the most prominent LGBTQ+ choruses in the nation, and the oldest to chorus to outwardly use both “gay” and “lesbian” in its name.
