Description

A poster for the annual Orlando Gay Chorus (OGC) concert, “A Lotta Night Music.” The event was held at the Mezz, located at 100 South Eola Drive in Orlando, Florida, on Friday, June 9, 2017. Directed by Harold C. Wright, “A Lotta Night Music” was sponsored by John Michael Exquisite Weddings and Catering. Tickets were $20 and available through orlandogaychorus.org. The poster fades from dark blue to black vertically as lights descend on the silhouettes of illuminated concertgoers gathered halfway down the page. Featured artwork includes the logos of the OGC, the Mezz, and United Arts of Central Florida.

The Orlando Gay Chorus is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts and humanitarian organization part of GALA Choruses. Founded on Valentines Day 1990, OGC is not only one of the largest mixed gay choirs in the United States at over 100 members, but they also boast four smaller ensembles that perform annual concerts, cabarets, and a whole host of community events like Come Out With Pride, Orlando Museum of Art’s Festival of Trees, and World Aids Day memorial services. In 2017, the group performed at over 105 events, including 15 performances for the first anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub tragedy. Members come from all walks of life and all sexual and gender orientations, including straight allies. OGC lives by the motto “Singing the World to a Better Place” and strives to use music to change attitudes and build a stronger community.
