Empire City Men’s Chorus is set to present “GIVE EVERYTHING,” a 30th anniversary showcase on May 31 and June 1, 2024 at The New York Society for Ethical Culture.

The showcase celebrates the organization’s “unwavering dedication to its principles and its profound impact on audiences far and wide” and features a new commission by Jeffrey Parola titled “Break Forth, Dream.” Also on the program are works by Stuart Beatch and Jay Hulme, Joan Szymko and Alla Renee Bozarth, and Stevie Wonder’s “Heaven Help Us All.”

“As we mark our 30th anniversary with ‘GIVE EVERYTHING,’ we acknowledge the profound evolution of Empire City Men’s Chorus from its origins as The Gay Gotham Chorus to its current status as a transformative cultural movement,” said Dr. Vince Peterson in an official press statement. “Our founding mission to provide awareness and support during the AIDS crisis laid the groundwork for our enduring commitment to the gay community. Today, we stand as a beacon of inclusivity and solidarity, using music as a tool for healing and connection. ‘GIVE EVERYTHING’ embodies our ethos of acceptance, compassion, and love, celebrating our past and embracing the future with open hearts and open arms.”

The May 31 performance kicks off at 8 p.m. and the June 2 showcase starts at 5 p.m.
