Boston’s WCVB-TV Channel 5 is airing “Home for the Holidays,” a half-hour television special featuring highlights from the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus’s winter concerts throughout the years. The show premiered on WCVB-TV on Dec. 12 and 13, and is now available for streaming On Demand and via YouTube; for details check your local listings or go to BGMC’s “Home for the Holidays” web page. Boston’s own Randy Price, the country’s first openly gay TV news anchor, will deliver an introduction to the holiday special. On the program are BGMC’s most truly “uplifting” performances that are inclusive of all holiday traditions, including those that represent the African-American and Jewish experience. Expect moving interpretations of classics like “Here We Come A Wassailing” and “Silent Night,” the latter accompanied with sign language, as well as playful performances of modern music like “Sparklejollytwinklejingley” (from the movie “Elf”) and “Pink Christmas,” a particularly colorful number that features trees awash in rosy lights.
