LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
A little over 30 years ago, a handful of people envisioned a chorus
for gay men and their supporters not only to make music but to make
a community. That community provided a safe haven from a not so
accepting world for members to be themselves as well as to nurture
and support one another as they dealt with the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
On December 19, 1991, approximately 60 men performed in front of an
audience of mostly family and friends the premiere concert Tidings of
Pride and Joy.
Some of those same gentlemen who performed in that premiere                  ADDRESSING THE UNIQUE FINANCIAL

FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
Who knew?

Who knew that a year ago the whole world would be shut down? I
didn’t. We were preparing to perform in a joint charity concert with
Southern Gateway Chorus quickly followed by our Spring concert God
Save the Queens, a salute to iconic songs and stars of the UK… when it
all went bust. Poof.

So here we are, just over a year later. CMC is still going. We are thriving
and surviving thanks to you, our supporters. By the completion of this
concert, we will have produced or been involved in fifteen virtual videos.
That’s a lot of content!

For this concert, we have culled three classic recordings from CMC’s
Thirteenth season (13 going on 30? Anyone?), with new videos
choreographed and produced by Darnell Pierre Benjamin (of Pones) and
local theatre actor/director/choreographer David Radtke. We are lucky
enough to have two video producers in our ranks: Bob Amott and Eric
Knechtges, who helped make this transition to virtual productions much
easier than it could have been.

And what about the music? It’s the Great American Songbook! This is
our heritage, the popular music that started here and influenced the
world. And its influence continues to this day.

I have read (Wikipedia, y’all) that the era of the Great American
Songbook starts around 1920 and ends roughly around 1950-1960.
Hogwash. That would leave out so much Broadway, Motown, and other
pop songs that will continue indefinitely in Karaoke halls around the
world. Sweet Caroline, anyone? My Girl? I Will Survive? Theme from New,
York, New, York? Fancy? Push It? Let It Go… you get the idea.

All that to say, grab a drink and a snack, relax in the best seat in your
house, and enjoy String of Pearls.

   The CMC is forever grateful for those with whom we have shared the stage over the
 years, but are no longer with us. We know that when we take the stage, we bring with
 us their passion for our mission. When we sing, it is not just with our voice, but theirs as
  well. We remember them and acknowledge their contributions to our musical family.
