Description

A poster for the Orlando Gay Chorus concert, “Our Holidays Together”. The event was held at the John & Rita Lowndes Shakespeare Center in Loch Haven Park, located at 812 East Rollins Street in Orlando, Florida, on December 14 and 15, 2002. Featuring both traditional music and songs underscoring the commercialization of the holidays, “Our Holidays Together” was a fundraiser for Toys for Tots, who were partners with the OGC for ten years. Tickets were $22 in advance through Rainbow City, Joy MCC, and orlandogaychorus.org and $25 at the door. The poster features a white background with simple navy and gray text. A candle is silhouetted in the bottom right-hand corner. 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.
