Featuring appearances with Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker and Boston Mayor Kim Janey, the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus’s new showcase, “Pride,” will air on WCVB-TV Channel 5 at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 12, and again on Sunday, June 13, at 12:30 p.m. The 30-minute program is packed with inspiring and joyful songs that celebrate LGBTQ dignity and diversity.
“Even though we can’t perform live due to the pandemic, we’re bursting with Pride because we still get to share our music with the masses during this special month,” said BGMC Music Director Reuben M. Reynolds III. “We’re thrilled to be partnering once again with WCVB Channel 5 for this unique celebration of the LGBTQ community.”
Hosted by Reynolds, this special production features performances of beloved LGBTQ anthems like “I Am What I Am” from “La Cage aux Folles” and Janet Jackson’s chart topper “Together Again,” the club classic “Relax” and the quietly defiant “Rise Up” by Andra Day. The special will close with the premiere of BGMC’s new virtual performance of the stirring “This Is Me” from “The Greatest Showman” created especially for the television show. In between performances, viewers will meet BGMC members, be entertained by stories about BGMC’s international tours, and hear special messages from Gov. Charlie Baker and Boston Mayor Kim Janey.
“PRIDE” will also be available to watch Saturday, June 12, on MeTV Boston at 6:30 p.m. It will premiere on YouTube Sunday, June 13, at 2:00 p.m. as well as on demand at WCVB.COM and BGMC Online. (Dates and times are subject to change, so be sure to check local listings.)
