Boston Gay Men’s Chorus is tuning up for their annual Pride concert and this year it will be “Friends of Dorothy” — a spectacular celebration of LGBTQ+ pride and resilience through the power of music — with performances at 8 p.m. on June 1 and at 3 p.m. on June 2 at New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall Boston, and at 7:30 p.m. on June 15 at Groton Hill Music Center in Groton, Mass.
“Friends of Dorothy” is a vibrant and uplifting musical journey that pays tribute to the LGBTQ+ community’s rich history, culture, and contributions. The concert’s title, long used as a euphemism for being part of the LGBTQ+ community and a nod to the iconic figure from “The Wizard of Oz,” encapsulates the spirit of unity and empowerment that defines the LGBTQ+ experience.
Under the artistic direction of Rueben Reynolds, Boston Gay Men’s Chorus will deliver a mesmerizing performance featuring a diverse repertoire of Broadway showstoppers, contemporary hits, and timeless classics. The concert promises to be a moving and joyous experience, showcasing the chorus’s exceptional vocal talents and unwavering commitment to artistic excellence.
“We are immensely proud to present ‘Friends of Dorothy,’ a concert that celebrates the indomitable spirit and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community,” said Reuben Reynolds, Music Director. “Through the power of music, we aim to inspire, uplift, and unite audiences in a shared celebration of love, diversity, and equality.”
In addition to delivering a captivating musical experience, “Friends of Dorothy” serves as a platform for advocacy and social change. Boston Gay Men’s Chorus remains dedicated to fostering a more inclusive and equitable society through the transformative power of music.
