The Chicago Gay Men’s Chorus continues its 26th season by serving up a slice of homemade Apple Pie. CGMC’s upcoming spring concert, Apple Pie, is a tribute to our country and what it's like to live as a gay American—but with unforgettable interpretations for which CGMC is famous. 2008 is an election year, and CGMC is rolling out the bunting and firing up the sparklers in a tribute to everything that makes America great. We'll bring you patriotic songs, flaming baton twirlers and notable moments in American history from our own unique perspective. Look for appearances by Betsy Ross, Mt. Rushmore's great presidents, your favorite friends from American Idol (CGMC-style) and the wholesome mothers who keep America's stomachs filled with a steady diet of delicious apple pie. Artistic Director Patrick Sinozich has programmed a diverse array of music for the chorus to perform; from soaring anthems by Aaron Copland and traditional gospel hymns to contemporary pieces by Broadway composers Craig Carnelia and William Finn. Performances of Apple Pie are Friday, April 4 at 8:00PM and Saturday, April 5 at 3:00PM and 8:00PM at the historic Athenaeum Theater, 2936 N. Southport Avenue, Chicago. CGMC’s annual spring shows sell quickly, so advance tickets are recommended. Tickets can be purchased in person at the Athenaeum Theater box office, on ticketmaster.com or through the link at cgmc.org. The Chicago Gay Men’s Chorus is celebrating 26 seasons of choral music, humor, and endless goodwill. As integral part of Chicago’s cultural and gay communities, CGMC has entertained audiences across the continent with innovative musical programming, political commentary, and tongue-in-cheek humor.
