Description
A poster for the Orlando Gay Chorus (OGC) concert, "A Midnight Clear.” The event was held at the Annie Russell Theater at Rollins College, located at 1000 Holt Avenue in Winter Park, Florida, on December 13 and 14, 2003. A fundraiser for Toys for Tots, the poster requests that attendees bring unwrapped toys. Tickets were $25 in advance through Rainbow City, Urban Think and orlandogaychorus.org and $30 at the door. The poster has a blue background that fades to yellow at the bottom. The title sits on a musical staff offset by a yellow moon and stars. Featured artwork includes the logos of the OGC and various sponsors across the bottom of the poster.
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.
