Last night, I attended the Gay Men’s Chorus concert called Vibrate. As usual, they put on a fabulous show.

The concert began with a rousing rendition of “Feelin’ Good”. They launched into a series of diverse music - everything from Latvian 19th century songs to jazz to a contemporary song called “Vibrate”. My favorites included a tingling piece called “Tree of Peace”, the joyful “Take the A Train”, and “What a World” (a song which begins with the lyrics “Men reading fashion magazines”).

After an intermission, the chorus took the stage wearing rainbow shirts with glow sticks and sang “Maneater” . The audience was treated to the Youth Pride Chorus - a group of very talented young people who gave a lively performance of some contemporary music. The chorus then sang a series of South Africa songs, my favorite being “Revival”. The show ended with a hilarious version of Gwen Stefani’s “Wind it Up”, complete with lederhosen and drag queens.

With talented singers and a fun repertoire, the whole concert was such a treat. The chorus will be performing on Saturday, June 14th at the Brooklyn Pride Parade.
