The Island Now

The Long Island Gay Men’s Chorus will celebrate LGBT pride and its 10th anniversary season with three performances in June.

LIGMC’s “Let’s Hear It For The Boys” concerts, featuring more than six decades of hits from legendary male vocal groups, are scheduled for Friday, June 8 at the Cathedral of the Incarnation, 50 Cathedral Ave., Garden City, and Saturday, June 9 at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at Stony Brook, 380 Nicolls Road (CR 97) in Stony Brook. Showtime for these concerts is 8 p.m.

For the first time, the chorus will also take the stage in Huntington village at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 12 Prospect St., Huntington on Sunday, June 10 at 7 p.m.

“The Long Island Gay Men’s Chorus spring concerts are a celebration of the joy and fun music can bring us. This year’s performances continue that decade-long tradition,” Tony Mazza, an LIGMC board member, said.

As part of the celebration of LIGMC’s milestone anniversary season, chorus alumni are invited to join performances of “Seize the Day” — from the musical “Newsies” — and “Lean On Me/We Shall Overcome.”

“Let’s hear it for 10 years of beautiful music!” LIGMC artistic director and accompanist Jeanette Cooper, a music educator and theatrical music director, said.

Concert tickets are $25 and available at the door or online at ligmc.org.
