Synopsis

Album Description
In July of 1991, the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles became the first US gay chorus to tour Central Europe, giving performances in Copenhagen, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, and Budapest. Their performances inspired gay pride, liberty, and community in untold numbers of gay men and women there. These experiences were captured in Diversity, an inviting mixture of both popular and innovative songs for men's chorus which resonate with pride and courage. The title track (an original commission which has since become a signature song for the Chorus), works by Ned Rorem, Paul Monette, and Stephen Sondheim create a glowing journey through the magical landscape of the gay experience.

CD Reviews

Best male choral ensemble on the west coast!
A big fan of GMCLA | Los Angeles, CA | 02/12/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I know this is GMCLA's first recording, but unlike most first attempts, this one is a superior collection of songs. From the incredible piano accompanament of "Canto de Esperanza" to the warm choral sound of "Ave Maria", these guys are professionals all the way. You'll love their rendition of "Family" from the Broadway hit "Dreamgirls". The beautiful "Somewhere" medley combines "Over the Rainbow" from "The Wizard of OZ", "Somewhere" from "West Side Story" and "Somewhere out There" from Disney's "An American Tail". Definitely a CD you can enjoy over and over again!"
