It’s season’s greetings from the Eugene Gay Men’s Chorus. After almost two years away because of the pandemic, the chorus will finally have an audience to sing to this weekend, and that alone is worth celebrating this holiday season. The Eugene Gay Men’s Chorus Presents: Joy for the Holidays Saturday and Sunday in Eugene and Corvallis. The program includes a rich mixture of the traditional (“Deck the Hall”) as well as spiritual (“Like a River in My Soul’) and even an arrangement of John Lennon’s “Imagine.” Also, under the direction of founding artistic director Evan Miles, the audience is welcomed to join the chorus for singalongs sprinkled throughout the program. It’s certain to jump-start the spirit of the holiday season.
The Eugene Gay Men’s Chorus Presents: Joy for the Holidays is 7:30 pm Saturday, Dec. 11 at First United Methodist Church, 1376 Olive St. The chorus performs again at 3 pm Sunday, Dec. 12 at First United Methodist Church in Corvallis, 1165 NW Monroe Ave. Proof of vaccination is required and masks must be worn. Tickets are $15 general admission, $10 for students.
Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
