2019 - 2020 Concerts

Mardi Gras, a celebration of life before the more-sombre occasion of Ash Wednesday, nearly always involves the use of masks and costumes by its participants.  In New Orleans, for example, these often take the shapes of fairies, animals, people from myths, or various Medieval costumes, as well as clowns and Indians (Native Americans).  Today many costumes are simply elaborate creations of colored feathers and capes. 

Now if this doesn’t sound like the perfect setting for a Rochester Gay Men’s Chorus fundraiser we don’t know what would fill that bill.  We are very excited about this year’s major fundraising adventure that joins dinner, dance, entertainment, raffles, Rochester icons, masks, costumes, and entrance to the Memorial Art Gallery.  February 22 will be the evening to don your best costume and masks (they will be provided at the door, also).  The fantastic evening will begin at 5PM and go until 10PM.  The cost includes dinner, entertainment and gallery entrance.  The $75 donation will be a major support to the chorus and the performances for 2020.  There will be a cash bar, also. 

Imagine with me a world that turns topsy-turvy.  A world devoid of anger, hostility, frustrations, angst, worry, and concerns.  Imagine a world full of joy, laughter, pleasure, and fun.  Imagine a world where traditional roles are challenged in a hilarious format and fun-filled atmosphere.

That is what the Rochester Gay Men’s Chorus offers you for two amazing performances of their traditional shows—Miscast.  Miscast refers to the genre of music performed that evening.  Members of the chorus perform solos and ensemble numbers that traditionally would be cast by someone of the opposite gender.  Antics are high and performances are memorable.  It is a concert you don’t want to miss and that you will enjoy every minute. 

This is not your typical RGMC concert and is more intimate in its setting at the Blackfriars Theatre.  It is a opportunity to support the RGMC in its fundraising efforts, experience a fantastic concert & performances, and escape to a world of pure enjoyment for an hour or two.
