A Letter from Our Artistic Directors Dear Friends, Welcome to the final concert of our 2018-2019 season featuring the Rocky Mountain regional premiere of Quiet No More: A Choral Celebration of Stonewall. We are thrilled to perform this newly-commissioned work for you and to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in New York City’s Greenwich Village. This collaboration has been a rewarding, educational and life changing journey for members of our combined choruses; we are delighted to share this stunning work with you and to join you in celebrating 50 years of LGBTQ history! What you are about to hear reflects the culmination of two years of discussions among LGBTQ choruses across the United States concerning ways we could recognize the momentous events of June 1969 that sparked the gay liberation movement and the struggle for LGBTQ rights in America. Why not create an expansive musical work about the Stonewall Rebellion? What an idea and what a challenge! After many months of researching, engaging wonderful composers and workshopping the composition, Quiet No More became a reality. Twenty-one GALA choruses across America participated in creating this groundbreaking work and multiple performances will occur throughout the United States in 2019. During the past 50 years, we have made great progress in the battle for LGBTQ rights, but our work is far from complete. We must continue to tell our stories, to remember our history, and to teach our culture to a new generation. This is why projects like Quiet No More are so important. As with every concert, we strive not only to entertain, but also to educate, empower, heal and inspire our audiences. If you are unfamiliar with the significance of the events that took place in a small Greenwich Village bar 50 years ago, we hope this performance helps you appreciate the long road to justice and equality that continues to this day for LGBTQ individuals. If you are familiar with the history of Stonewall or, perhaps, lived through the tumultuous 60s, we hope this performance provides an opportunity to celebrate, remember, and to boldly cast your eyes to the future. Most importantly, we hope you leave this performance confident that those brave individuals - those “glorious beauties” - who decided to fight back against police brutality 50 years ago weren’t doing so just for themselves. They were protesting because all human beings, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, deserve dignity and respect. They were doing it for all of us and we are forever in their debt. We invite and challenge you to honor their legacy by becoming involved in noble and powerful causes for social justice. Stand up and speak your truth! Take action! And, BE QUIET NO MORE!

Program Notes - James Knapp I.

Prologue: It Was The Day (Michael Shaieb)

This opening movement provides the historical context for Stonewall, a major turning point in LGBTQ rights. Most of the information is provided in the spoken narrative, but the sung response from the mixed ensemble is similar to a Greek Chorus commenting on the dramatic material being presented. Many points of view are presented to help the listener understand the Stonewall phenomenon and why it was so important. The opening narrative suggests that the listener’s idea of what happened in 1969 may not be universally known or shared by all; some will only know the basics, some will have heard the urban legends, some will feel as though Stonewall doesn’t tell their story. The hauntingly beautiful Prologue invites the listener to journey with the singers as they share the storybook of Stonewall. It calls us to reflect on the past, to be in the present and - most importantly - to look forward. “Where are you going?” “Who will you be?” The final musical phrase, “What will you do?” is a challenge and a call to action to keep the legacy of Stonewall alive whilst creating a vision for the future. II. The Only Place You Can Dance (Michael Shaieb) This movement provides the listener with a snapshot of life in and around Stonewall in the late 1960s and the events leading up an early morning raid by police at the Stonewall Inn on June 28, 1969. Many may be unfamiliar with New York City, the Village, or even where and what Stonewall was. There are multiple references to the geography, history and culture of the West Village and LGBTQ life in the 1960s, existing laws, the underground culture, and how people socialized. The audience is introduced to the Stonewall Inn on Christopher Street: how it worked, why people went there, and the patrons you might find at the establishment. The movement concludes with a depiction of a typical police raid at the time so that listeners can understand what routinely occurred in gay bars leading up to the riots. Perhaps you will get the impression this was the raid that started riots but, in fact, it wasn’t. You will be kept waiting! The final phrases of this movement, “Don’t put up a fight. It’s just another night. Ev’rybody GO HOME!” are pivotal because they emphasize the ongoing harassment and exhausting abuse inflicted upon the LGBTQ community by the police. Up to this point, it had all been tolerated. However, the chronic sense of defeat and humiliation soon reaches a boiling point in Movement IV. III. Glorious Beauties (Our Lady J) In this movement, the audience is introduced to the people of the Stonewall riots. They were the most angry; they were the ones you couldn’t bring home to Mom; they had the least to lose. As the lyrics describe, “Some say we’re freaks, we’re monsters”. Who started the riots? Researchers clearly disagree. Some say it was the drag queens; others say the instigators were mostly transvestites and street kids. Some witnesses claim it was a single butch lesbian who turned Stonewall from a gathering to a true riot. Still others referred to the scare queens, flame queens, sissies, nellies and effeminates. Whatever they were called in 1960s vernacular, these were the bravest, the HEROINES AND HEROES. They were also the most energetic, the most violent, the most destructive and the targets of the most police brutality. The musical test, “Who hasn’t gone to paradise without making some sort of sacrifice?” emphasizes their absolute courage to fight for what was right and equitable. They were outrageous, funny, bitchy, clever, mean, desperate - and the most hungry for change. This movement invites the listener to see the full spectrum of queerness at the time and offers a contrast to others who could pass, the clean-cut professionals who walked among the straights. Long live these Glorious Beauties! May we remember and memorialize them with great respect, admiration and action! IV. Gotta Get Down to Downtown (Michael Shaieb) This movement begins with the haunting musical motif introduced in The Prologue and the upbeat dance rhythm from Movement II. However, the mood at the Stonewall Inn in the early hours of June 28, 1969 quickly shifted from campiness to curiosity, concern, and then, anger. “I don’t know why, but somethin’ doesn’t feel right.” That night, a boiling point is reached in response to the repeated harassment and abuse by police that the listener heard about earlier. Here, the chorus tells the story of rioters linking arms in a standoff against armed policemen. A brick is thrown, the crowd goes wild and, for the first time, there is no running away. A storm of defiance rages. We’re not going anywhere! In a cacophony of sound, the chorus and musicians recount the excitement, chaos, tension, defiance, danger and bravery of the riots. “Get your goddamn hands off me! We’re not going anywhere!” This movement ends with deafening silence, leaving the listener to contemplate what just happened.

V. And We Walked (Julian Hornik) The very next day, a short article appeared on page 33 of the New York Times: “Four policemen hurt in a Village raid.” This represented a victory for the LGBTQ community. “I got to the bar and I thought there we are in the glass, in the plaster, my people are there. But still I have my victory parade.” This movement goes on to chart the ripple effects of the four days of rioting. It began immediately with incremental changes in attitude and behavior that eventually led to milestone legislative victories and world-wide changes in social structures. There was no going back. The dam had burst. The text of this movement does not represent a strict linear narrative; instead, it is a cameo of thoughts spanning several decades: the NYT article, a woman running for office, the actions of an ACT UP protester in church, AIDS walks, a lament for “the boys who were children and then the men they barely got to be”, the fight for a cure. Everyone agreed that something important had happened that night on Christopher Street. Everyone felt differently, and then started acting differently. “And the very next year we gathered on Christopher Street. We were hundreds strong and unabashed. And we walked.” The listener is left to return every year to their own “Christopher Street”, wherever that may be. VI. We Are A Celebration (Michael McElroy) This movement invites the listener to “take a look around and make note of what you see”. It celebrates how much has changed and how much has been accomplished in the past 50 years since “that hot summer night our lives took flight.” The ripple effect of Stonewall has been felt at home and all over the world. The singers joyfully celebrate who we are today: our visibility, living our truth, our love, the families we have chosen, the lives we have built! “So be who you are! Love who you love! Go where you want!” In joyful and determined fashion, this movement pays homage to people who paved our way: the writers who tell our stories, the visionaries, the elders, the enlightened parents. And, we lift up the outrageous, the protesters, the friends - straight and gay - who stand by our sides! This movement invites everyone to be a part of this celebration. “Clap your hands! Stamp your feet! C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, let’s celebrate!” VII. What If Truth Is All We Have? (Ann Hampton Callaway) We live in challenging and exhausting times. We have made such progress, and yet, we are continually slapped down. At times, it is hard to keep faith in our divided government, our families with differing views, and communities that hurt rather than heal us. How do we maintain belief when daily headlines speak of blatant racism, homophobia, misogyny, classism and ageism? Our despair deepens and our hearts break a little more each day. We have marched so many miles and written so many letters. We have shouted until we are hoarse. Yet, increasing hate and intolerance have become the ‘new normal’ for much of our world. “What if truth is all we have? What if truth is all we can hold on to?” In an era of lies, deception, and persistent efforts to reverse human rights, truth remains. It illuminates the darkness. It is our beacon of hope. If truth is all we have, so be it. We say “NO!” to the new normal. We hold on, walking and linking arms just as those at Stonewall did 50 years ago. And we remember that we are not alone. For a half-century, people all over the globe have felt the ripple of Stonewall. In our seemingly small and insignificant daily actions, we continue the legacy of Stonewall. “Is equality a destination? Or is it small wins day by day? Have we been searching for somewheres over the rainbows, when it’s ev’ry step of the way?” On June 28, 1969 the Stonewall patrons gathered to socialize and party like any other night without being hassled. They did not set out to change the world, but they did. Stonewall could have happened to you. How would you have reacted? Stonewall moments are all around us. What are the small things you want to change every day? This movement invites the listener to open their eyes each day, illuminate the darkness with truth, and clearly seek to find Stonewall moments in our own lives. “We gotta hold on, hold, on, hold on, hold on!” VIII. Speak Out! (Jane Ramsmeyer Miller) This final movement is a battle cry and a call to action. It is a recognition that the work of Stonewall is not over. There is no going back! The listener is encouraged to stay awake, be resilient, persist, act with purpose, and always be mindful of one’s small, personal Stonewall moments. How are others living their Stonewall moments? How can we support them? Are we living up to the standards set by the Stonewall protesters in 1969? In a myriad of actions both large and small, the audience is admonished to act! “Hold hands. Speak your truth. Know our history. Trust our youth. Honor elders. Share food. Demand respect. Show kindness. Love your neighbor. Run for office. Write a letter. Pray. March. Sing. Vote. And, as the brave patrons at the Stonewall Inn showed us 50 years ago, “Speak out and be heard!”

The Denver Gay Men’s Chorus was founded in 1982 with a passionate commitment to the lives and wellbeing of LGBTQ persons and steadfast dedication to fostering tolerance and acceptance among diverse communities in Colorado. Now in its 37th year as the premier gay performing arts organization in the Rocky Mountain region, the DGMC has performed more than 250 concerts that have entertained, educated, inspired and empowered audiences of all ages. From guest appearances with the Colorado Symphony at Boettcher Concert Hall, participation in a Prince tribute at majestic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, a featured performance with Alan Cumming on his “Legal Immigrant” tour at the Paramount Theatre, to a groundbreaking appearance beneath the stunning spires of the US Air Force Academy Chapel, the 120 voices of The Denver Gay Men’s Chorus have remained true to its mission of ‘building community through music.” The DGMC has performed newly-commissioned choral works by fifteen composers, including the Rocky Mountain regional premiere of Andrew Lippa’s critically acclaimed “I Am Harvey Milk” before audiences in Denver, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, and Laramie, WY. In 2018-2019, the Chorus joined with treble singers from seventeen community choruses to become the first LGBTQ chorus in North America to perform “Street Requiem”, an homage to citizens in Front Range communities who struggle with homelessness and housing insecurity. The DGMC’s history of advocating for safe and supportive communities for all citizens is reflected in collaborations with many local and national organizations, including The Matthew Shepard Foundation and The LGBT Community Center of Colorado. In Spring 2018, the Chorus embarked on it first-ever school tour at George Washington High School to promote diversity, support at-risk youth, and to combat bullying behavior in our schools. To launch its 2018-2019 season, the DGMC made its first appearance at Coors Field to sing the national anthem at an MLB game between the Colorado Rockies and the San Diego Padres. In January, by invitation of our newly-elected Governor, himself, the Chorus was thrilled to perform at Jared Polis’s inauguration ceremony and inaugural ball. The Denver Gay Men’s Chorus will travel to New York City for a June 28, 2019 solo debut performance at St. John’s Lutheran Church on Christopher Street, following a joint performance of “Quiet No More’ at Carnegie Hall with 600 singers from several GALA choruses across the United States.

The Denver Women’s Chorus (DWC) was founded in 1984 with the goal of building community through music. They are a community chorus of women with equal interests in the excellence of our music and performances, as well as in the communities in which they live. DWC believes that music should challenge and inspire us towards individual growth and dynamic engagement in enriching the entire community; the chorus, our audience, and beyond. Though their origins lie in the lesbian community, they strive to be an inclusive chorus. They are proud to be a multigenerational chorus of LGBTQ+ singers and many wonder allies. All are welcome regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. With 130 singing members this year, the Denver Women’s Chorus continues to grow and be a strong presence in Denver and its surrounding communities. DWC celebrated its 35th Anniversary this year, performing at the Womxn’s March in Denver, on the Red Rocks stage with DGMC, and a celebratory banquet with Leslie Herod. The Denver Women’s Chorus will travel to New York City for the joint performance of “Quiet No More’ at Carnegie Hall with 600 singers from several GALA choruses across the United States.

DWC Chorus Angels Sisters in Song Never Forgotten

You may notice that DWC has stuffed animals at all of our concerts. These represent our chorus angels who we have lost over the years. Each animal has been chosen specifically to represent the personality of the member and remind us that they may be gone but are not forgotten.

Join RMAA’s Guardian Circle! The Guardian Circle is Rocky Mountain Arts Association’s monthly defined-giving program for family and friends of The Denver Gay Men’s Chorus and The Denver Women’s Chorus. When enrolling in this program at the Bronze ($10-49), Silver ($50-99) or Gold ($100+) levels, individuals are afforded the opportunity to support one or both choruses and to embrace the Association’s mission of “Building Community Through Music.” Guardian Circle members can designate monthly, tax-deductible contributions at any level to support many activities, including: to purchase new music and to defray the costs of securing performing rights; to assist individual singers with their annual chorus membership dues; to enhance production capabilities at our subscription concerts; to underwrite outreach efforts to unserved and underserved audiences in our community; and to support the Association’s administrative functions. Depending on the contribution level, each new or continuing Guardian Circle member receives a variety of benefits, such as: recognition in the printed program at every subscription concert; a specially designed Guardian Circle pin; complimentary tickets; invitations to exclusive donor recognition events; access to concert previews, preferential seating at performances; and invitations to exclusive VIP areas at all subscription concerts. Please consider this opportunity to join RMAA’s Guardian Circle and to wrap your arms around the 220-singing members of these two fine choruses. For more information about the specific benefits at each donor level, or to enroll as a new member now, please visit our support page at rmarts.org; email us at info@rmarts.org; or call our office at 303-325-3959.
