“Voices of Equality” Singers to Perform at

National Equality Rally at Independence Hall

Sunday, May 3, 2009

Singers from three of Philadelphia’s leading choral groups—the Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus, Anna Crusis Women’s Choir, and the Mendelssohn Club of Philadelphia—will perform at the National Equality Rally at Independence Hall on Sunday, May 3. The patriotic musical tribute will conclude a one-hour, high-impact Rally, following the March for Equality on Independence Mall.

The Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus, under the artistic direction of Joseph Buches, is the region’s largest all-male chorus with over 100 members, and one of the nation’s first gay men’s choruses.

Anna Crusis Women’s Choir, under the artistic direction of Jacqueline Coren, is the country’s oldest feminist choir.

The Mendelssohn Club of Philadelphia, under the artistic leadership of Alan Harler, has been presenting innovative choral performances for more than 100 years.

With these three amazing choruses joining forces at the NER, their moving performance will be the perfect ending to a powerful and united Rally for LGBT Equality!

The "Voices of Equality" will also perform in conjunction with Equality Forum 2009 on Friday, May 1st from 8 to 10pm at The Church of the Holy Trinity. You won't want to miss this.
