Live OUT Loud! with The Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus

On May 17 – 18, the PGMC will present Live OUT Loud! Join the PGMC as we sing this concert in celebration of PRIDE, dedicating it to the rest of our siblings in the LGBTQ+ community. PGMC is excited to open the concert with various LGBTQ-commissioned masterpieces written by notable composers, including Robert Seeley and his late partner Robert Espindola (lyricist), Philip Littell (lyricist), New Jersey native Robert Maggio, and Philadelphia natives Andrea Clearfield and Drag Queen Cookie Diorio. Two songs were commissioned by PGMC, one of which will be performed by Soloist Cookie Diorio. This music celebrates the love stories of our community and reminds us to live bravely OUTloud. The celebration continues with popular selections that gear you up for PRIDE, including “Rise Up” and “Born This Way!” We will not be erased, we will not be denied, and so instead, we will LIVE OUT LOUD!
