After the devastating loss of a generation to the AIDS crisis, the LGBTQ+ community has become a vibrant tapestry of more generations existing together than ever before. The chorus invites the public to embrace this inclusivity and join their multigenerational concert celebration! From the resilient spirit of Baby Boomers to the trailblazing energy of Generation Z and beyond, this event will weave together decades of music, stories, and voices, making everyone feel a part of our shared history and future.

At the concert, you'll experience the anthems that have resonated in past pride parades, such as 'It's Raining Men,' 'Dancing Queen,' and 'Y.M.C.A.' But it's not just about the music. We're creating a heartfelt tribute to the diverse journeys and shared struggles of the LGBTQ+ community. You'll also hear fresh beats from songs like Cher's 'Believe' and Heather Small's 'Proud' that echo the dreams of a new generation, creating a powerful emotional connection with the audience. A unique and exciting opportunity to hear the world premiere of "We've Come Through The Storm," words and music by Tom Nichols and Dan Chadburn, and "Don't Say Gay," a jaunty yet robust show-stopping number crafted exclusively for GMCSF by gifted composer David Volpe. This music, commissioned by the Gay Men's Chorus of South Florida, Gabe Salazar, Artistic Director, for all Florida GALA Chorus members, is a testament to our commitment to the arts and the LGBTQ+ community. The Pride concert is sponsored in part by Funding Arts Broward, AIDS Healthcare Foundation, The Bears of South Florida, Hunters Nightclub Wilton Manors, Sun Dream Yacht Charters, and Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood.
