GMCLA Announces Season 44, Featuring Motown, Women and Disney

Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles has announced its Season 44, which celebrates Motown, women, and the music of Disney. GMCLA will return to Glendale's Alex Theatre for the first two concerts of the season, starting with an all-new wintertime tradition: A Motown Holiday, featuring beloved hit songs from Motown legends. The second concert in March is titled I'm With Her and celebrates the music of powerhouse female artists. The season concludes in June with the Los Angeles premiere of Disney Pride in Concert at Walt Disney Concert Hall, a show which features the Chorus performing classic Disney music with a 25-piece orchestra and video projection. All concerts will be conducted by GMCLA's Music Director & Conductor Ernest H. Harrison. Season 44 packages are on sale at GMCLA.org.

"With these three big programs, the Chorus will perform some of the most beloved music ever written that takes us in exciting new directions," said GMCLA Executive Director & Producer Lou Spisto. "We are thrilled to be back at Alex Theatre paying tribute to Motown and iconic female singers and songwriters. And we can't wait to bring Disney Pride in Concert to Walt Disney Concert Hall - the recent Boston Gay Men's Chorus premiere was a sold-out sensation. Now Los Angeles can see it performed by GMCLA at Walt Disney Concert Hall and that is pretty amazing!"
