The Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles (GMCLA) will continue its 34th Season in the Gothic setting of First Congregational Church of Los Angeles. “Awakenings” will be conducted by GMCLA Artistic Director E. Jason Armstrong, and will feature the powerful voices of the 200-member GMCLA chorus with the female chorus members of VOX Femina Los Angeles and the talented young stars of Outside Voices, the new mixed chorus formed by GMCLA and LifeWorks at the LA Gay & Lesbian Center.

The concert will include “The Awakening” by Joseph M. Martin; “When I Fall In Love,” arranged by James Mulholland and originally featured in the motion picture “Sleepless in Seattle”; “The Song of Purple Summer,” arranged by Mark Brymer from the hit Broadway musical “Spring Awakening”; and “Into the West,” the Academy Award-winning song from “Lord of the Rings,” written by Fran Walsh, Howard Shore and Annie Lennox, among many others.

“We are very excited to have the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles back for another concert at First Congregational Church of Los Angeles,” exclaimed Dr. R. Scott Colglazier, Senior Minister to the congregation. “Last year’s concert was a definite highlight for us, and we are thrilled to welcome both the Chorus and its dedicated audience back this year as we continue to strengthen the burgeoning relationship between our two organizations.”

Performances held on Saturday, March 16 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, March 17 at 3 p.m. & 7 p.m.
