ABOUT THE PROGRAM
GABE SALAZAR
The holidays ask us to believe in something we cannot always see. The Gay Men's Chorus of South Florida chooses to be the light in a world that often feels dim. Illuminate is what we do. The magic of the holidays is why we do it now. Our voices will fill Sunshine Cathedral with music that refuses to let the night win.
For LGBTQ+ people, light has always been our language. It speaks of coming out. Of showing up. It makes us seen so others can find their way home. This concert is for the chosen family. It is for anyone who has ever needed a reminder that light lives inside all of us. Bring your friends. Bring your family. Bring your wildest holiday hopes. Together we will illuminate the night.

"Let There Be Light" boldly declares that light always wins over darkness. Beloved classics that feel like coming home: "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," "Angels We Have Heard on High," our traditional candlelight rendition of "Silent Night," and "Believe" from The Polar Express, reminding us that music is the world's greatest equalizer.

Then the chorus turns up the energy with sparkly songs like Elf's "Sparklejollytwinklejingley," Cher's "DJ Play A Christmas Song," a tribute number to Dolly Parton, "With Bells On," and the uplifting rendition of "Joy To The World" from The Preacher's Wife soundtrack.
