Black and Queer: A Juneteenth Concert

We are excited to again welcome the New York City Gay Men's Chorus for Black and Queer: A Juneteenth Concert at Christ Church NYC on Wednesday, June 19th, in honor of Pride and Juneteenth!

Join us at 7:00 PM at Christ Church NYC, 524 Park Avenue, for a 75-minute concert celebrating and highlightreing the intersectionality of being Black and queer for members of the New York City Gay Men's Chorus. 

Backed by a formation of the full chorus, Black NYCGMC soloists will share what Juneteenth means to them through their own stories, solos, and favorite songs.

Christ Church, the East Midtown Partnership and  NYCGMC are proud to present this celebratory concert centered in voices and experiences too long unheard.

This concert is free and open to the public, however, we ask that you register for complimentary tickets.

“We are absolutely thrilled to host the NYC Gay Men’s Chorus Juneteenth concert at Christ Church NYC. This concert, as I see it, is a perfect opportunity to illuminate through music the unique and important nexus of racial justice and the advancement of LGBTQIA+ equality and advocacy. As a congregation that prioritizes both the critical work of antiracism and the full inclusion of LGBTQIA+ persons, we at Christ Church NYC are particularly honored to have the exceptional music of the NYC Gay Men’s Chorus resonating in our sanctuary space on the occasion of Juneteenth. We hope that you will plan on being present for this historic concert, the spirit of which moves us forward toward a preferred future in which all forms of discrimination give way to equity, inclusion, justice, integrity, and compassion."
