Dear Friends,

We’re baaaaack!!!

This year’s holiday show has extra sparkle, soaring melodies, frolicking elves, and heart-warming stories of holiday traditions. It is impossible to articulate how very excited we are to return to singing for you, LIVE! It’s a fact: we are UNBREAKABLE!

For our 41st season we are gearing up for inspiring shows that include our annual toe-tapping cabaret, a musical celebration of the diversity of America, and a stirring production highlighting several pioneers in the LGBTQ+ equality movement over the past century. In addition, our GenOUT Youth Chorus will present its fabulous Youth Invasion concert at the newly-remodeled MLK Memorial Library and at THEARC in Anacostia. The diversity of our programming, our outreach to communities that really need to hear us, and our commitment to social justice is what sets us apart and makes us our nation’s voice for equality.

Not even a pandemic could silence our voice. Last season we moved our entire season from the live stage to the screen, and thanks to you, we didn’t miss a single beat! You were there every note along the way, for which we are profoundly grateful. Regardless of the platform, each time we perform, we move the needle towards a more equal and empathetic world. If you believe in the power of our music, please consider making a tax-deductible donation by scanning the QR code below, on the inside back cover, or by going to gmcw.org.

We hope you have a warm and healthy holiday season, filled with laughter and traditions, both old and new.

Happy Holidays!

’Tis the season to gather with friends, family, and loved ones to share in merriment to everything!

We are overjoyed to welcome you back to our first in-person concert, The Holiday Show at Lincoln Theatre. It’s been too long since we have been able to perform for you.

On behalf of GMCW’s Board of Directors, we are so grateful for your support for GMCW these past two years. You kept our performance halls full, whether it was at our virtual concerts or events. You shared virtual applause during our concerts. You supported us at our Summer Soirée and Spring Affair. And you joined us in looking back at and celebrating 40 years of singing for equality.

Without your attendance to our full season of virtual activities and steadfast generosity in 2020 and 2021, we couldn’t be here today. You made sure GMCW was truly unbreakable!

We hope that you are as excited as we are to deck the halls and spread a little sparkly, jolly, twinkly, and jingley joy to the world. We can’t wait to make this year’s holidays fabulous and festive!

ABOUT US

MISSIONThe Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, DC (GMCW) sings to inspire equality and inclusion with musical performances and education promoting justice and dignity for all.

OVERVIEWGMCW is the largest LGBTQ+ chorus in the nation’s capital. We are a renowned performance group. Since 1981, we’ve performed shows nationally, internationally, and at-home in Washington, DC. To date, we have 250+ singing members, four select ensembles, a youth chorus, over 500 donors, and an annual audience of 10,000+. Our mission is to use music to promote equality, achieve justice, and overcome our differences. Over the last 40 years, we’ve put on numerous shows and done hours and hours of community outreach. We’ve sung and danced our hearts out around the country, including our Equality Tours in 2017, 2018, and 2019. We’ve been around the world, too, including stops in Cuba, Iceland, and Ukraine. We’ve sung for the Clintons, the Bushes, the Obamas, and the Bidens. Alongside Alan Cumming, Carol Channing, Chita Rivera, and Angela Lansbury. We’ve visited many prestigious venues, including the Kennedy Center, the White House, and Carnegie Hall, just to name a few.

Thea Kano, Artistic Director

Dr. Thea Kano, a Northern California native, became active in the arts at an early age. She started playing piano at age four and began taking ballet soon after, a background that has a strong influence on her conducting. Dr. Kano’s graceful yet commanding presence on stage and the robust performances she obtains from her musicians have basis in her formal training as a dancer.

Dr. Kano has conducted an extensive range of repertoire with several ensembles, including the Angeles Chorale, The Washington Chorus, and in 2014 assumed the position of artistic director of the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, DC, for which she also directs its acclaimed ensembles Rock Creek Singers and Potomac Fever. In addition, she oversees GMCW’s outreach efforts, including its GenOUT program. A champion of music education, Dr. Kano has devoted countless hours

to students of all ages and backgrounds. She believes in the power of music to nurture and believes that classical music should be accessible to all. Dr. Kano’s substantial experience in this arena includes: building partnerships with organizations serving disenfranchised adults, hosting workshops with at-risk youth, leading youth arts programs of many sizes, as well as directing award-winning high school and collegiate choruses.

In addition to her work with GMCW, Dr. Kano founded the New York City Master Chorale in 2005 and served as the artistic director until spring 2019. The 80-member group is recognized as one of the finest vocal ensembles in New York City and has performed to sold-out audiences on two continents. Dr. Kano is known for her expressiveness and dynamic conducting, and the Chorale has been praised for its balance and richness in tone in performing a variety of musical styles. Under her direction, the Chorale made its debuts at Lincoln Center (2006) and Carnegie Hall (2009), as well as its international debut in Paris, France (2011).

Dr. Kano has prepared choruses for Zubin Mehta, Esa-Pekka Solonen, Emil de Cou, David Hayes, Craig Fleischer, Victor Vener, and Paul Salamunovich. Dr. Kano’s various ensembles have performed at the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Disney Hall, Église Saint-Sulpice (Paris), and on the National Mall for the 2009 inaugural ceremonies.

Dr. Kano received her doctorate in choral conducting from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2004. At UCLA, Dr. Kano studied under Donald Neuen, her professional mentor. For her dissertation on Duruflé’s Requiem, Dr. Kano completed research with L’Association Duruflé in Paris and studied privately with Paul Salamunovich. Dr. Kano holds a Master of Music degree from UCLA and a bachelor’s degree in choral music education and piano performance from Arizona State University. Dr. Kano speaks French and actively conducts ensembles in New York City, Paris, and Washington, DC.

WHO’S WHO

13

C. Paul Heins, Associate Conductor

C. Paul Heins joined the GMCW artistic team as associate conductor in the 2014 – 2015 season. Dr. Heins’s principal role with GMCW is directing the GenOUT Youth Chorus, an outreach ensemble for LGBTQ+ and allied youth founded in 2015. Under Dr. Heins’s leadership, GenOUT has grown from its inaugural class of nine singers to a current enrollment of 33 singers representing more than two dozen schools in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Over the past six years, more than 110 students from over 60 schools have participated in GenOUT Youth Chorus and camps, and notable performance venues have included the Kennedy Center, the Library of Congress, the Washington National Cathedral, and the White House for President Obama. In addition to its regular performances with GMCW, GenOUT’s collaborations have included Nashville’s Major Minors, The Musicianship’s Washington Youth Chorus, The Washington Chorus,

NYC’s Youth Pride Chorus, and the Children’s Chorus of Washington.

Dr. Heins’s previous appointments include Georgetown University (Concert Choir director), the Lesbian & Gay Chorus of Washington (director), the Washington Master Chorale (assistant director), Washington Men’s Camerata (accompanist/associate conductor), and the College of William & Mary (interim choir director). He was musical director for three GMCW musicals (Ruthless, When Pigs Fly, and You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.) Dr. Heins is a frequent guest pianist, flutist, and conductor in the DC area. He was trained in piano and flute at Bowling Green State University (B.Mus.), flute at the University of Maryland (M.Mus.), and choral conducting at the University of Maryland (D.M.A.). His principal teachers have been Edward Maclary, Patrick Walders, and Mark S. Kelly (conducting); William Montgomery and Judith Bentley (flute); and Virginia Marks and Victoria Harris (piano). His doctoral work centered around Lukas Foss’s cantata, The Prairie. Dr. Heins has presented at conferences of the American Choral Directors Association and Chorus America, and has served as guest clinician for DCPS music festivals and teacher workshops.

Joshua Sommerville, Assistant Conductor

A native of Gaithersburg, MD, Joshua Sommerville is a singer, pianist, music director, and composer who graduated from Towson University with a Bachelor of Science in Music. Joshua started his music journey at the age of five cultivating his skills at the piano. He often states, “If it weren’t for my father, who taught me the only song he knew on the piano, my first piano teacher who taught me how to read music, and my mother, who refused to let me quit playing piano, I would not be where I am today.”

He began his professional career as a musician, choir director, and singer at the tender age of 14. Throughout his musical journey, he has had the privilege of working with many esteemed artists like the late Dr. Walter Turnbull  (Director of the Harlem Boys Choir), Dr. Ysaÿe Barnwell (of the Grammy Award-winning vocal group Sweet Honey

in the Rock), Stanley Thurston, Bill Colosimo, Dr. Karen Kennedy, Dr. Joyce Garrett, Patrick Lundy, Richard Odom, Dr. Stephen Holmes, Dr. Marco Merrick, and Twinkie Clark, among others.

He has founded three semi-professional groups: His W.I.L. Community Choir, Unique Sounds of Love, and To Be Continued Youth Choir. Each group has been recognized and admired for their ability to sing multiple genres of music as well as their enticing stage presence. He also created the acclaimed workshop, How Much Do You Love It?, that has traveled to Bermuda, Italy, Guatemala, Germany, and Africa.

Joshua is the Minister of Music at Hall United Methodist Church of Glen Burnie. He also tours as music director for world-renowned choreographer Rennie Harris, and actively music directs productions within the private and public school systems.  He joined the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, DC as Assistant Conductor in December 2019, and is very excited to also conduct Seasons of Love.

Solomon HaileSelassie, Stage Director

Solomon HaileSelassie is a director, stage manager, designer, and film maker. Since 2015, he has served as GMCW’s stage manager for our main stage concerts. He attended the Duke Ellington School of the Arts and Winston Salem State University where he trained in both vocal music and theater, New York Film Academy, and received his substantive professional training at The Studio Theatre and 2nd Stage.

His recent directing credits include The Passage; Phones; Lunch Dream; Girls; Waiting for Godot; The Shape of Things; Three in a Hallway (Ebenezer’s Ghosts); [Almost] William Shakespeare’s, National Lampoon’s, Family Guy’s, MTV’s: The Real Thanksgiving Vacation at Macbeth’s (working title); Punching People You Never Met; Georgia Avenue Nocturne; Hello | Brother; Sonata; Carrie:

He is the Resident Production Designer/Manager for the Library of Congress, the Resident Stage Manager for Longacre Lea, where he is a company member, and is the Founding Director of Artistic Collaboration for Annexus Theatre Company. He continues to be a non-equity professional stage manager because he is committed to maintaining access to high quality stage managers for small, underfunded, or under recognized professional theaters.

Theodore Guerrant, Principal Accompanist

Now in his 39th season as GMCW’s principal accompanist, “Dr. Teddy” is arguably the longest-tenured collaborative pianist for a single chorus within the entire GALA Choruses network. He has been honored in various ways throughout his almost four decades of service including a Circle of Excellence Award in 2001, with a plaque honoring his 25-year milestone in 2008, and, finally, with a Distinguished Service Award from the Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance in 2011 for his long tenure with GMCW. He began with GMCW in 1983 as co-accompanist with Jim Holloway, and has served under every GMCW conductor from founding director Jim Richardson to Thea Kano, traveled with the Chorus to various cities across the United States, two Canadian provinces, three Scandinavian countries, and can be heard on many GMCW recordings.

Dr. Teddy, who grew up in College Park, Georgia during the 1950s, studied with his aunt, Eliza Holmes Feldmann, who was then artist-in-residence at Brenau College in Gainesville, Georgia. As a high school senior, he accompanied five choral ensembles and played five Sunday church services weekly. He received degrees in keyboard performance from the University of Georgia (B.M. piano cum laude; M.F.A. harpsichord), the University of Wisconsin (M.M. piano), the University of Maryland (D.M.A. piano), and the Peabody Conservatory of Johns Hopkins University (G.P.D. organ), and studied piano in Buriton, England, with Denise Lassimonne.

Dr. Teddy is also organist-choirmaster at Christ Church Parish Kensington (Episcopal), accompanist for the National Philharmonic Chorale (the resident chorus of the Strathmore Music Center in Rockville), where he was awarded for his over 30 years of service, and associate director-accompanist for the Central Maryland Chorale. He also teaches on the staff of the University of Maryland School of Music as a coach-accompanist.

Circle of Excellence Awards are chosen annually by members of GMCW to recognize the outstanding contributions made by members of the Chorus. These awards honor those individuals who have exemplified the spirit of camaraderie, brother- and sisterhood and community in the Chorus and whose work has had lasting impact over many years.

* posthumously awarded

CIRCLE OF EXCELLENCE

23

The Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, DC’s Ovation Society is an initiative that recognizes and honors those generous individuals and families who have made planned gifts to the Chorus.

If you have already included GMCW in your estate plans, please let us know so that we can include you as a member of the Ovation Society. If not, we hope you will consider joining this special group by including GMCW in your will, as a beneficiary of a retirement account, or by setting up a charitable trust. Planned gifts can greatly reduce the amount of tax paid by your estate at the time of your death and often do not change the amount that would go to your family and friends.

While your attorney or accountant can provide you with more information, GMCW has several corporate sponsors — both financial planners and attorneys — who specialize in LGBTQ+ estate issues. We are happy to share this resource list with you upon request. As a member of the Ovation Society, you will be invited to attend special events and receptions especially for Ovation Society members.

For further information about GMCW’s Ovation Society, or if you are interested in learning more about the many ways you can include GMCW in your plans, please contact Executive Director Justin Fyala, at 202-293-1548 or jfyala@gmcw.org.
