To mark Baltimore Pride month, The Emmanuel Choir presents a program celebrating the music of Leonard Bernstein (1918–1990) — including the show-stopping aria from his 1956 musical Candide, “Glitter and be gay!” In addition to popular selections from Bernstein’s many stage scores, including West Side Story, The Emmanuel Choir sings portions of his monumental 1971 Mass and a complete performance of the 1965 masterpiece Chichester Psalms.
Don’t miss this fun and varied concert extravaganza, as we celebrate Baltimore Pride and bring our 2023–2024 Music at Emmanuel season to a fabulous and festive close.

About the choir
The Emmanuel Choir is Maryland's premier professional liturgical choral ensemble.
A 16-voice fully-professional mixed-voice ensemble, its 12-member core is augmented by four Choral Scholars, each a local young artist. Rooted in the great and expansive choral traditions of the Anglican (Episcopal) Church, the Emmanuel Choir’s repertoire spans the centuries — from Italian Renaissance to English Romantic; from plainsong to the 21st century — and includes regular world-premiere performances of new music composed for the church of today and tomorrow. The choir is directed by Christian Lane.
