In a Colorado premiere, DGMC will be among the first choruses to present Disney PRIDE in Concert, on March 31 and April 1, 2023. The concert draws inspiration from Disney’s beloved catalog of songs from iconic films including The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, and Mary Poppins to modern classics Coco, Zootopia, and Wreck-It Ralph and the magical music of Disney Parks. The concert event will feature a 25-piece orchestra, accompanied by choreography and visuals using assets from Disney’s films and archives. 

“Disney movies and musicals have long resonated deeply in the LGBTQ community because they often mirror experiences in a society that hasn’t always been welcoming,” said James Knapp, Artistic Director and Managing Director, Denver Gay Men’s Chorus. “The concert will showcase the individual meanings and connections from Disney’s timeless and universal music. This collaboration with Disney Concerts, Inc. marks a Colorado premiere, and DGMC is among the only choruses to perform.”

Divas: Icons and Justice Warriors DGMC celebrates Pride month with Divas: Icons and Justice Warriors, a tribute to the music and performers of legendary women.
