Final concert of the season for Dayton Gay Men’s Chorus
The Dayton Gay Men’s Chorus will kick-off Gay Pride Week (June 1 — 6) with BraviSEAmo — its final performance of the season — at 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 30 at Victoria Theatre.
Chorus board president, Allen Kimbrough, said the concert is one of several Gay Pride Week events his group is co-hosting with Dayton Pride Partnership.
“We have enhanced our relationship with Dayton Pride Partnership and are collaborating with them on these events,” he said. “Our annual dinner will be held at Sinclair Community College on Wednesday, June 3. On June 4, Dayton Pride Partnership will screen the film Saint of 9-11 at Neon Movies and our Pride Night on the Quad takes place Friday, June 5.”
The annual PrideFest and Parade takes place Saturday, June 6. Pride Breakfast will begin at 8 a.m. at MJ’s Cafe. Parade line-up starts at 11 a.m. at Cooper Park. PrideFest at Courthouse Square runs until 6 p.m.
BraviSEAmo will feature songs of the open seas and a staged version of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “HMS Pinafore.” Kimbrough said the addition of artistic director Jason Schuler has raised the skill set of six year-old chorus.
“Jason has added energy, leadership and taken us into uncharted territory,” Kinbrough said. “He is a master craftsman of blending tonality and musicianship and has catapulted us to another level.”
The Dayton Gay Men’s Chorus is a member of GALA Choruses, an organization of gay and lesbian choruses worldwide. The Chorus is also a local member of the Community Arts Network, a division of Culture Works.
