Celebrate Me Home
"After a year of innovative and critically acclaimed performances at Carnegie
Hall, the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, and Fashion Institute of Technology,
NYCGMC returns to Carnegie Hall once again on Tuesday December 9th 2008.
This year, our glittering Holiday Spectacular is titled 'Celebrate Me Home.' Along
with our usual entertaining and varied mix of songs, celebrities, and surprises,
we will be paying tribute to the amazing work of PFLAG, the organization for parents,
friends and families of Lesbians and Gays as well as the Ali Forney Center which
helps provide homes for the up to 25% of LGBT teens who are rejected by their families,
and end up homeless on the streets of New York.
There will be laughter, tears and inspiring messages of hope, along with beautiful
new carols from the Basque country, holiday songs from South Africa, Cuba and the
Dominican Republic and traditional favorites like Sleigh Ride, Silent Night and
Joy to the World.
So become part of NYCGMC's extended family, and join us on Santa's fabulous Carnegie
Hall Sleigh! With a red-nosed reindeer, some Supremes, the Andrews Misters and over
200 gay men of all shapes and sizes, you are promised the warmest of welcomes!
"O-h-h-h can those men sing!!!"
('Baraka Sele - NJPAC)
The Big GAY Sing!
Are you gay? If not, is your taste in music gay? What is the song that for you best
sums up the spirit of 'gay,' past, present or future?
In March we will be doing a project called 'The Big Gay Sing: A Singalong Extravaganza.'
This glittering chorus show at the Ziegfeld Cinema, featuring all 200 of our members
and a professional band, will feature all the favorite songs of the gay communities
of New York City - and the entire audience should be singing along? From showtunes
to pop music, opera to political anthems, there are so many songs that say who we
are and we need YOUR help to narrow the list.
