No strangers to the White House or The Kennedy Center, members of the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington, DC, will perform in Middleburg for the third year in a row on November 10 at Emmanuel Church's Parish House.

For 38 years the award-winning artistry of this chorus has thrilled audiences close to home and as far away as Ukraine. They've performed at two presidential inaugurations and average over 100 outreach performances a year.

The MD Theatre Guide has this to say: "When you're at a concert that both moves you to tears and stuns you with the quality of musicianship, you know you're watching the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington, DC."

Middleburg's Emmanuel Episcopal Church now welcomes them back as part of their At The Parish House performance series. Proceeds from the concert will benefit "A Place To Be" which uses music and arts therapy to help people meet life's challenges; and Emmanuel's "Healthy & Independent Living" Bergner ministry which seeks to inform, engage, and enliven older members of the community.

The Chorus is sending two ensembles, "Rock Creek Singers" and "Potomac Fever," who will deliver a variety of pop and show tunes guaranteed to lift spirits and get folks humming all the way home.

The performance takes place on Saturday, November 10 at 7 p.m. at Emmanuel's Parish House, 105 East Washington St. in Middleburg. Reservations are recommended but not required (540-687-6297). There is no charge to attend, but a donation of $25 is suggested. Regardless of the amount donated, no one will be turned away.
