Together We Rise - June 25 at 7:30 p.m.

June 25, 2022

Join the Windy City Gay Chorus and Windy City Treble Quire for our annual Pride concert, Together We Rise. Now more than ever, living authentically and sharing the love in our hearts remains the lifeblood that binds our community, gives us strength, empowers us and affirms our bravery. During a time where hate is on the upswing and legislatures are trying to tear our community down, it is up to all of us to lift up one another through song in support and celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride. Join us as we perform an evening of music that promotes joy, positivity, and togetherness all while reassuring you of your beloved place in our community.

About Us

Windy City Performing Arts (WCPA) was incorporated in 1983 as an independent not-for-profit umbrella organization for Windy City Gay Chorus, Aria: Windy City Women’s Ensemble (later renamed to Windy City Treble Quire), Unison: Windy City Lesbian and Gay Singers, and Windy City Slickers. (Unison and Windy City Slickers are currently on hiatus.)

Support

Our choruses create moments that inspire people to change the world. But, as is the case with every not-for-profit (501c3) arts organization, ticket sales, dues, and grants only cover 60% of our operating costs. Our friends help us fill the gap. And your donation is fully tax deductible to the extent allowable by IRS code.

Auditions

We’re thrilled to hear you’re interested in learning more about joining Windy City Gay Chorus (our TTBB chorus) or Windy City Treble Quire (our SSAA chorus). Both choruses are filled with people with a passion for choral music that celebrates diversity, honor creativity, and cultivate pride through musical performance. We welcome anyone who is interested and has a commitment to our mission to audition!
