About:

$25 - Adults $10 - Under 18 LittleWashingtonTheatre.com The Gay Men's Chorus of Washington's 200+ voice chorus has performed at public and private events - both large and small - throughout the District and surrounding areas during its 34 years. The chorus sponsors two small ensembles: Potomac Fever, a 14-voice a cappella close-harmony group, and Rock Creek Singers, a 34-voice chamber choir. These ensembles serve as representatives of the larger chorus at community functions, and each produces an annual concert. The Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C. (GMCW), is one of the oldest and largest LGBT choral organizations in the United States. The chorus’ stated mission is that it “delights audiences and champions gay equality with robust artistry, fun, and surprise.” GMCW's Potomac Fever ensemble is a 14-voice a cappella close harmony pop group. GMCW was established in 1981 and, in the time since its founding, has performed at the Kennedy Center, the National Theatre, the Warner Theatre, DAR Constitution Hall, the Lincoln Theatre and, most frequently, Lisner Auditorium at George Washington University. The chorus performed at President Clinton’s second inauguration in 1997. In 1998, the chorus toured three Scandinavian capitals. While there, GMCW was received by Sweden’s Princess Christina to thank members for singing in support of Noah’s Ark, a Swedish AIDS services organization.
