Artistic Director Dr. Timothy Seelig said in a statement, “Following the tremendous successes of this past anniversary season, we launch Season 41 with great excitement. The season begins with one of the most monumental moments in our history—the groundbreaking of a memorial to our own chorus members we have lost at the National AIDS Memorial Grove, along with a performance of the first requiem composed in memory of those lost to AIDS. We end the season celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Stonewall. In between, we will be singing, dancing, and raising a roof or two with incredible musical offerings.”
