There is no greater joy in the city than to see artistic community-focussed groups advance. And one group this for nearly 10 years is our
West Michigan Gay Men's Chorus, who now joins a long list of area choirs that celebrate the art of song via the performances they deliver to our region. It is nice to have so many options!
On Sunday afternoon, take a stroll downtown to Fountain Street Church for the return of the festive and fun holiday musical showcase from our West Michigan Gay Men's Chorus.
Prepare yourself for classics like “Jingle Bells” and “Silent Night,” but also for those comic gems like a new number for the chorus, “The 12 Days After Christmas.”
The songs play off the wintery themes of our season too, with classical tunes lining up nicely alongside contemporary gems like The Beach Boys “Little Saint Nick.”
In addition the “boys” will be welcoming Lady Oak, a local choir that is an offshoot of our Grand Rapids Women’s Chorus, who will be performing a set during this special, free holiday show.
And while the event is admission-free, the West Michigan Gay Men's Chorus asks that, during their intermission, to please consider a donation to the Grand Rapids Community Foundation's Our LGBT Fund.
We have plenty of ways to celebrate the holidays, and we at Rapid Growth are pleased to witness the ever-widening acceptance of people who were once marginalized but now are such a beautiful addition to the fabric of our city.
