Courage. Hope. Trust. Life...Love. Inspired by what the It Gets Better Project did for LGBT youth, Windy City Gay Chorus and Aria proudly present "It Gets Better: The Concert", under the direction of Paul Caldwell, Artistic Director.
While we all faced obstacles growing up, LGBT youth face unique challenges -- from relentless bullying from other kids to abandonment and alienation by their own families in all too many instances. "It Gets Better: The Concert" is a musical testament to the power of song to move hearts and change minds, and to show us all how love and happiness can be a reality. With the support of openly gay and lesbian adults, mentors and straight allies in our lives, there is hope for a positive future that's strong, beautiful, and powerful!
The concert features the premiere of You Are Beautiful (Vwy Prekrassny), a new choral work by Paul Caldwell and Sean Ivory, that will become the framework for a music video offering support for the gay community in Russia as they struggle to find hope under newly-legislated oppression.
"It Gets Better: The Concert" is a journey of inspiring music and stories presented to remind us all that we are not alone and that it WILL get better!
Performances are Saturday March 22 at 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. at Ebenezer Lutheran Church -- 1650 W. Foster Ave., in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood. $15 Senior and $10 Student/Children discounted tickets will be available only at the door.
Celebrating 35 Lyrical Years, Windy City Performing Arts is Chicago's Premier LGBT Choral Arts Organization encompassing Windy City Gay Chorus and Aria. Windy City Performing Arts celebrates diversity, honors creativity and cultivates pride through the transformative power of music and the arts.
