In Community: A Concert Celebrating LGBTQ+ Stories
Company: Milton Community Concerts
On Sunday, April 28th at 3pm Milton Community Concerts will present an entertaining and diverse concert at First Parish of Milton, 535 Canton Avenue. This benefit concert, “In Community: A Concert Celebrating LGBTQ+ Stories”, will support the Transgender Emergency Fund of Massachusetts. The program will feature musical theater favorites, jazz standards, concert songs, arias, and cabaret songs, primarily composed by LGBTQ+ composers. Featured singers Michael Alexander Aoun, Nick Fahrenkrug, Morgan Mastroangelo, and Alexis Peart will join dancers Holly Stone and Michael Winward, and will be assisted by baritone Joel Clemens and pianist Timothy Steele.
This concert will share stories of both LGBTQ+ individuals and the community that are captivating, joyful, and heartbreaking. Composers include Stephen Sondheim, Cole Porter, Billy Strayhorn, and Benjamin Britten. A song by Leonard Bernstein was recently featured on the soundtrack of the film “Maestro”. A German cabaret song from 1920 called “Das Lila Lied” is considered one of the first gay anthems ever written. Some of the musicals featured are "Fun Home", "A Man of No Importance", "James and the Giant Peach", and "Falsettos".
Tickets for this concert are Pay As You Can, available at the door only. A suggested donation is $20 general, $10 senior, and free for 18 and under. Fifty-percent of the ticket revenue, as well as additional donations, will go to support the Transgender Emergency Fund (transemergencyfund.org), which provides assistance for low-income and homeless transgender people living in Massachusetts. This concert is made possible by generous grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and the Milton Cultural Council.
