Rise Up Singing, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

Tonight we bring you some of Broadway's best music. From the classic team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II to the newer dynamic duo of Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, the words and music of Broadway have become part of our American Identity. They have also acted as powerful tools for shaping hearts and minds.

We've Got Rythm, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus May 2013

We've Got Rythm, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

Welcome to our spring season concert "We've Got Rythm", as we celebrate some of the most influential music written in the 20th century by American composers. What a pleasure it is for the BGMC to bring music from the American Songbook alive for you this evening; music that many of you have asked us to perform for years. I believe it is also a very poignant time for LGBT Americans as we celebrate composers who brought us iconic music, some of which has been embraced for decades by our community but also some who were gay themselves.

We Tell The Story, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus Jun 2012

We Tell The Story, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

From love and loss, passion and pain, celebration and conflict -- we share one thing. We have a story to tell. Why we tell our story can range from enlightenment to entertainment. What I have found in situations where people of disparate backgrounds are together is that once we start telling out stories, we find that we aren't that different after all.

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.
