DCDD and GMCW Play at the Kennedy Center - 6/24/2007
DCDD's Capitol Pride Symphonic Band (CPSB) invites you to join us at the Kennedy Center on June 24, 2007 when we accompany the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington (GMCW) for the joint concert Songs of My Family. The CPSB and GMCW are very excited to be sharing the stage together...and on what better stage to do it?
The CPSB is very proud to be the special guest of the GMCW. We will be performing several songs together, including “When You Believe” from the animated musical “Prince of Egypt” and Randall Thompson’s stunning “Testament of Freedom.” The CPSB will also be playing a solo set featuring “First Suite in E Flat” by Gustav Holst, an “American Elegy”, and “Jungle Fantasy”, a hot latin-African groove.
The GMCW will be performing the world premiere of SONGS OF MY FAMILY, a 45 minute song cycle with chamber orchestra. The commissioned work is based on the stories of LGBT families. With soaring melodies and beautiful lyrics, this new work will enrich our own understanding of family, and will shape the way family is experienced and celebrated in our culture.
Please join us in this celebration of music and family. Songs of My Family will be performed on June 24, 2007 at 3 p.m. at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall. Tickets are now available through the Kennedy Center website. For additional information, please call (202) 269-4868 or email us.
And watch for our 2007 - 2008 season lineup!
