Honor both Pride Month and Juneteenth by joining the New York City Gay Men's Chorus for Black and Queer: A Juneteenth Concert at Christ Church NYC on Wednesday, June 19. Presented by the East Midtown Partnership, the 75-minute concert will celebrate the intersectionality of the chorus by centering "voices and experiences too long unheard," organizers say, with a group of Black NYCGMC soloists sharing what Juneteenth means to them through their personal stories and favorite songs.
"This concert, as I see it, is a perfect opportunity to illuminate through music the unique and important nexus of racial justice and the advancement of LGBTQIA+ equality and advocacy," says Rev. Dr. Eric S. Park, senior minister at Christ Church. "We hope that you will plan on being present for this historic concert, the spirit of which moves us forward toward a preferred future in which all forms of discrimination give way to equity, inclusion, justice, integrity, and compassion."
Admission to the special event is free, but a suggested donation of $30 would be appreciated.
