What they’re saying:
- Lou Spisto, Executive Director & Producer of Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles: “It’s so exciting that The Walt Disney Company celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. We have wanted to celebrate the Disney canon for years, and it’s finally happening. I was lucky to attend the concert premiere by the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus at Boston Symphony Hall last June, and it’s simply stunning. The audience leapt to their feet for both sold-out shows. To say this is a once-in-a-lifetime event is not an overstatement: 200 singers, a 25-piece orchestra – the largest we have ever had – nearly 50 songs from 24 films (and the Parks) and projections above the Chorus on a large-scale screen! We can’t wait for everyone to experience this concert, and we welcome one and all, dressed in Disney or whatever they feel comfortable in! Other choruses will do Disney PRIDE in Concert, but only GMCLA will perform it at Walt Disney Concert Hall. To think Disney Concerts created its first-ever choral show and started with the gay chorus community is simply amazing!”
