We hoped you enjoyed our first Choral Collage, a series featuring great quotes from some our favorite LGBTQ musicians. This next one is from a genuine gay icon. Pulitzer Prize winning composer and diarist Ned Rorem has been a shining light for all of his 96 years. We were honored to sing his moving AIDS elegy, “Home,” a couple of years ago.
Your generous donations will help the Oakland Gay Men’s Chorus get through these difficult months. Our mission lives on! We look forward to the time, not too far into the future, when we can come together again and share our songs with you.
