Sounds Of The Season, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

I love the program for this concert -- so many of the songs tell stories that we can all relate to. The test to "The Prayer" is what most of us dream of then we think of the holiday season. Peace, love and hope are symbols that should be with us all year long.

Once Upon A Time, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

BGMC has taken a different spin on "Once upon a tIme." We are using it in our oral storytelling through singing. The concert you are about to hear is very near and dear to our hearts. There are bits of the concert that will sadden, frighten and even inspire you. This is the story of our lives. This music is a way for us to share with you, our loyal patrons, what we felt, dealt with, and eventually ended up with throughout our lives. With 70+ men in our chorus, the entire story is not entirely ours, but each and …

On Vacation, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

The year seems to be sailing by, and I wonder where the time has gone. Here we are at the June Concert. As a child, it always took forever for Christmas to get here. The school year would drag on forever. We could hardly stand the last week of school, and exam week was so stressful. What would it be like to be a young kid in todays days of uncertainty? Would you trade any of your life for a new beginning?

The Land Where The Good Songs Go, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

What makes a concert great? This is possibly one of the hardest questions we ask ourselves after every concert series concludes. Each concert evening, while speaking with our Patrons in the receiving line, one comment is repeated over and over, "you guys sure look like you are having fun!" We are indeed. We love putting these events together for your enjoyment. We see your faces during our performances, the smiles, the laughter and the tears. We feel strongly about our service to the community and the joy we try to bring to you, our beloved audiences.

Hope For The Holidays, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

I believe Hope for the Holidays is the most appropriate topic for us to consider in these trying times. With so many changes taking place affecting us all, the time for examining one's inner self is greater than ever before. Perhaps the market conditions are a necessary evil, probably long overdue, forcing us to open our eyes to what really matters. Whichever way we choose to look at it, change is required.

The Colors Of Our Lives, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

"The Colors of Our Lives" has very special meaning for me. I see and hear music in textures and colors. The words have texture and color. The songs we sing, the moods they express are in bright technicolor. I think this may be the very reason that new music is so exciting to me. What will I see in my mind's eye as I read the music and the text to myself "To Singing," one of my favorite songs on this concert, is a huge rainbow of colors. We're taken from the bleak grays of a questioning child tormented by …

Let Us Entertain You, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

Although our spring musical program for 2006 is ostensibly focused on entertainment, light fun, and Americana, it is no coincidence that the Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus has chosen songs which speak seriously of liberation -- not only of gay and lesbian people, but also the liberation of Africans and AfricanAmericans, and liberation from the restrictive historical trappings of certain music itself.

A Winter's Tale, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

"In the bleak mid winter," the poet tells us, "frosty wind made moan. "For those who have grown up in Buffalo and Western New York, window scrapers, snow plows, anti-freeze, insulated doors, down jackets, ear muffs, and gloves have become a way of life. We may pride ourselves on having "three and a half seasons," but it is the "Buffalo winter" that has given the city its notoriety. Ice storms, blizzards, twenty five mile-an-hour winds, lake effects, school closings, the morning traffic reports have all become part of the litany of language that seems to define us more readily than …
