RE: Generations Tickets On Sale Now

If we don’t tell our stories, who will?

Join the men of the Chorus (ages 18-70!) for a musical journey through this thing called life. From innocence (Blame it on my Youth) to experience (When I’m 64?) and everything in between, this concert features the world premiere of Out of My Range (and Other Age-Related Performance Issues) by Michael Shaieb (Through a Glass, Darkly, The Kushner Trilogy). Rehearsals and social events leading up to their next concert serve as the backdrop for a whimsical, fun, and revealing look at the age dynamics at play inside a gay men’s chorus. This “backstage” song cycle pulls back the curtain on generational differences within a chorus – part Laugh-In, part A Chorus Line, and part Avenue Q, it will remind you that age is a state of mind and life does indeed get better.

This world premiere event directed by Dr. Stan Hill is not to be missed!

Did you go to our holiday concert “Yule Be Swingin’“? Your schedule was busy, so you just bought a ticket at the last minute…and we hope you had a great time!

…or maybe you were not able to go, and you heard about it from your friends who went. Now you want to attend the rest of our season based on what you missed!

Whatever the reason, now is the time to get your tickets arranged for the rest of our 31st season! If you buy them as a season package, then you don’t have to worry about it later. And you will save money instead of paying higher prices at the door on the night of the show!

Dr. Stan Hill Announces Retirement, National Search for New Artistic Director is Underway

Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus has announced that Dr. Stan Hill, Artistic Director of the Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus will retire after the 2011-12 season.

Hill has been a major figure in the gay and lesbian choral movement. He was the Artistic Director of the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus for 11 years (1989-2000) prior to joining TCGMC as the Artistic Director where he will have served from 2000-2012.

“Under Stan’s leadership, Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus has accomplished much during the past 12 years,” said Board Chair Jeffrey D. Bores. “We are so grateful to Stan for his dedication and leadership to this organization.”

Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus has launched a national search for Dr. Hill’s replacement. Applications were due December 31, 2011.
