Original music and lyrics by Michael Shaieb, book by Michael Shaieb and Brent Lord for a 10-song “backstage” song cycle that pulls back the curtain on generational differences within a Chorus. Rehearsals & social events lead up to the opening number of their next concert and serve as the backdrop for a whimsical, fun, & revealing look at the age dynamics at play inside a gay men’s chorus. Commissioned by Dr. Stan Hill and the Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus for their 2012 season and their performance at the GALA Choruses Festival 2012 in Denver.
For their spring performance, dubbed RE: Generations, the Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus (TCGMC) reflects on two timely topics at the Ted Mann Concert Hall.
