Boston Gay Men's Chorus - Outside The Box March 15, 2009

The BGMC's spring concert thinks "outside the box," featuring music by some of the greatest GLBT songwriters of yesterday and today. The Chorus pays tribute to innovators from the mid 20th century including radical theater composer Marc Blitzstein and jazz great Billy Strayhorn (Take the A Train, Lush Life). Music of our time includes pop songs by openly gay singer/songwriters including Melissa Etheridge (Come to My Window), kd lang (Big Boned Gal), and Rufus Wainwright. Wainwright - one of the most original pop stars of today is represented by three of his hits: Oh What A World, Vibrate and Beautiful Child. The Chorus also offers acclaimed composer Ricky Ian Gordon's Love, My Sweet Rain with the impressive New England Conservatory senior and Point Foundation scholar Ceceilia Allwein as soprano soloist. A politically incorrect – and hysterical – finale is inspired by the bad boys of Broadway, Mel Brooks and Monty Python.
