Crescendo with Bruce Vilanch May 8, 2010

On Saturday, May 8th, friends and fans of the Chorus will gather for Crescendo, a celebration and auction in support of the BGMC's mission and outreach programs. Enjoy hors d'oeuvres, cocktails, fun, inspiration, furious bidding, and unique entertainment. Edge Boston says, “… the king (or queen!) of fundraisers has to be Crescendo, the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus Annual Gala Celebration and Auction Benefit… if you could only pick one benefit to go to in fundraising season, this would be it.”

This year special guest Bruce Vilanch will join the Chorus, capping the evening with a half-hour performance by the man who puts the F.U. in Funny! A latter-day Paul Lynde in the center square, Bruce has wowed Broadway, written material for Bette Midler, Lily Tomlin, and Joan Rivers, and crafted every funny line on the Academy Awards for the past 20 years.

Gala tickets are $75 and include the complete evening. A limited number of VIP Tickets at $125 include an exclusive President's Reception from 5:30-6:30 providing an opportunity to meet and socialize with Bruce. Open bar until 6pm. Order online at bgmc.org or call 617-542-7464. All of the proceeds from Crescendo benefit the BGMC's mission of artistic excellence and community outreach
