Welcome to the last concert of the 2022-2023 DGMC season and the last concert conducted by James Knapp, who is retiring after these concerts. After programming over 30 concerts for DGMC and 120+ individual performances in the last 10 years, James has created one last upbeat, bouncy, fun-filled concert to end his tenure with DGMC.

We were all hit by the passing of Tina Turner on May 24, and DGMC is adding a tribute song to her in this concert. Tina was the Queen of Rock, a music icon, a power of nature, and an extraordinary example of persevering through incredible challenges and odds. She will be greatly missed.

We hope you celebrate Pride Month with deliberation this year. With over 400(!) anti-LGBTQ+, anti-trans, anti-drag bills being introduced (and over 50 passing) in state legislatures, we reach out to our communities in Florida, Missouri, Texas, Tennessee, and more to let them know they are not alone. Raise your voices with ours to let everyone know you are proud and you are not going away.

Dear Friends of DGMC,

What a fun and inspired filled show we have prepared for you. In our concert we will give a noble tribute to the music and performers from legendary women who have changed the world. From Lady Gaga to Barbra Streisand and Adele to Whitney these artists helped teach the gay community how to find their true selves, and their community. We hope you enjoy our playlist, dances, multimedia, and stories from the heart!

This is my last and final concert of my 10 years at the helm as Artistic Director of the Denver Gay Men’s Chorus. After 41 years of making music, I will be retiring to my beloved Bar Harbor on Mount Desert Island Maine with my partner in July! My time with the Rocky Mountain Arts Association has truly been a journey and a bountiful experience to witness the growth of the organization over the last decade. The chorus has doubled in size to 150 singers, our audiences have increased by over 175% and our budget is twice the amount it was ten years ago.

The artistic level of the singers has flourished as we have partnered with such distinguished artistic forces as the Colorado Symphony, Cleo Parker Robinson Dance and sung in stunning venues as Red Rocks Amphitheater, Carnegie Hall and all of the venues at the Denver Performing Arts Complex. The chorus has been a national leader in participating in joint commissions of major choral works exploring and musical documenting LGBTQ+ history with works such as the oratorios of “Quiet No More”, “I Am Harvey Milk” and the new musical “Unbreakable”.

We have boldly programed concerts addressing social justice issues such as homelessness, racism, misogyny, police brutality, immigration and inequity and discrimination towards level different marginalized communities. We have been there singing for our community for the mass shootings at Pulse in Orlando and Club Q in Colorado Springs. We performed at Gov. Jared Polis’ inauguration and were the first gay chorus to every perform at an U.S. Military Academy – the Air Force Academy Chapel. We have sung the National Anthem for every major league sport in Denver except for the Broncos (they never returned my calls.) We have brought our mission of building community through music through the front range of Colorado and started an Anti-Bullying/Diversity Education Concert Program go public schools to educate and enlighten. The list goes on!

I am exceedingly proud of the work of the Denver Gay Men’s Chorus and deeply appreciative to all your who have supported us with your presence, volunteering, and donations. We could not have accomplished what we have without your outrageous generosity.

My final shout and the largest piece of gratitude goes to the artistic staff and the singers themselves. Without your talent, passion unrelenting dedication and commitment to a high level of music making and mission building none of this would have happened. I will always remember the transforming important work we did together and the joy and laughter we had along our way.

It has been my honor and privilege to lead you. You have a radiant future ahead and I wish you all the best to achieve greater success in the years to come!

Now everyone, get on your feet and get your pride on with “Divas – Icons and Justice Warriors”. Woot, woot!

DGMC has sung the National Anthem for of the major Denver sports teams (except the Broncos): Colorado Rockies, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, and Colorado Rapids to educate and enlighten the greater community about LGBTQ+ issues.

To celebrate the legacy that James has cemented at DGMC and ensure we continue on his path, we are raising a total of $10,000 to support the Denver Gay Men’s Chorus. The funds will go to the following:

  • Underwriting DGMC’s LGBTQ+ Educational Outreach Program to local schools
  • Supporting a tour to rural Colorado to further the cause of LGBTQ+ education and social justice issues
  • Commissioning a new work for his successor to perform with DGMC
  • Contracting a marginalized guest artist(s) to perform with the chorus

This fund will ensure that the chorus continues to thrive and build community through music. The chorus is needed more than ever. We need to stand strong, sing with great passion, and show that we will not be silenced.

Please consider making a donation to support the chorus.

About DGMC

The Denver Gay Men’s Chorus has been an LGBTQ catalyst for change through musical excellence since its founding in 1982. With more than 300 concerts during its 41-year history, this 140-member ensemble is now recognized as the premier gay performing arts organization in the Rocky Mountain Region. Through its diverse and socially charged programming, DGMC’s reimagined choir concerts entertain, educate, inspire, and empower audiences to foster acceptance and tolerance throughout the greater Denver area and along Colorado’s Front Range communities.

DGMC has performed in Denver and around the U.S. in acclaimed concert halls including Boettcher Concert Hall, the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Gates Hall, the Paramount Theatre, the Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and Carnegie Hall. Additionally, they have delivered groundbreaking performances at Coors Field, in the US Air Force Academy Chapel, and on the steps of the Colorado State Capitol as part of both inaugural festivities for Governor Jared Polis. They have traveled to 12 states, the District of Columbia, and Canada and have made joint appearances with several gay men’s choruses in major U.S. cities.

They have premiered new-commissioned choral works by 14 composers, including Andrew Lippa, Nathan Hall, Alan Shorter, James Deignan, and Craig Carnahan. Guest artists that have given extraordinary performances alongside DGMC include Alan Cummings, Margaret Cho, Diane Schurr and Ann Hampton Calloway. DGMC has performed twice with the Colorado Symphony.

In the name of advocating for a better tomorrow, DGMC has collaborated with The Matthew Shepard Foundation, the LGBT Community Center of Colorado, the Colorado AIDS Project, One Colorado, the Boulder County AIDS Project, Out Boulder County, the Colorado LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce, PFLAG Boulder County, and the It Gets Better campaign. In order to raise community awareness of issues surrounding homelessness and housing insecurity, DGMC committed to a yearlong Street Requiem Project in Denver, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins. In 2018, they began pioneering an educational outreach program to nurture safe learning environments and support anti-bullying efforts in Colorado schools.

During its 40th anniversary season, DGMC collaborated with world-renowned Cleo Parker Robinson Dance, a first for both organizations.  Aurora’s Rangeview High School Choir joined DGMC for the Colorado premiere of “The Seven Last Words of the Unarmed,” a powerful multi-movement piece inspired by the last words of seven unarmed black men. DGMC commissioned and premiered a new 70 minute musical “Unbreakable” by Broadway Composer Andrew Lippa spanning 120 years of LGBTQ+ history in the United States.

DGMC’s future is full of endless possibilities as their mission statement, “building community through music,” drives their imaginative motivation for success!

Ways

TO GIVE

To celebrate the legacy that James has cemented at DGMC and ensure we continue on his path, we are raising a total of $10,000 to support the Denver Gay Men’s Chorus. The funds will go to the following:

  • Underwriting DGMC’s LGBTQ+ Educational Outreach Program to local schools
  • Supporting a tour to rural Colorado to further the cause of LGBTQ+ education and social justice issues
  • Commissioning a new work for his successor to perform with DGMC
  • Contracting a marginalized guest artist(s) to perform with the chorus

This fund will ensure that the chorus continues to thrive and build community through music. The chorus is needed more than ever. We need to stand strong, sing with great passion, and show that we will not be silenced.

Please consider making a donation to support the chorus.

We are inviting you to collaborate with us this month in raising $5,000 for Give OUT Day, the only national giving event dedicated to the LGBTQAI+ community. Funding will help RMAA

  • Build an Anti-Bullying program for high school LGBTQAI+ students.  This work is as crucial as ever!  We need to support the younger generation and help them discover that being part of the LGBQTAI+ community is a beautiful thing and that there is nothing that could possibly be wrong with them.
  • Bring well-known guest artists to upcoming chorus concerts. This will help expose the choruses to a larger audience and expand our impact.
  • Support production of our 2023-2024 concert performances. We have over 20 ticketed concerts planned for 2023-2024 in all seven counties in the SCFD metro Denver area!

We Appreciate Your Support!
