From Strauss to Sinatra, the Chorus brings a gay perspective to the universal themes of love, relationships and marriage through a wide-ranging program of gorgeous and heartwarming music. Love & Marriage is a feel-good concert that abounds with a message of acceptance and life-affirming joy!

Program highlights include the world premiere of “A More Perfect Union,” a suite of songs inspired by gay marriage in Massachusetts, written by Roger Bourland with an original text by Philip Littell. The Chorus will also sing “Anna Madrigal Remembers,” a witty song cycle by Jake Heggie based on Armistead Maupin’s “Tales of the City.” The performance features acclaimed mezzo-soprano D’Anna Fortunato as the character Anna Madrigal.

Additional musical selections include works by Richard Strauss, Aaron Copland’s “Old American Songs,”  and a riotous finale of pop songs about love and love-gone-bad made famous by Frank Sinatra, Patsy Cline, and more.
