How do we recognize forty years of “singing for our lives”? Singing is about telling our story, and after forty years, we have a lot of stories to tell. The chorus was born in the cradle of the AIDS epidemic, and is bookended by another sort of epidemic. There is a lot of sorrow and anger to tell, but also a lot of love, hope and perseverance. We hope that you will join us in recognizing why TCGMC still matters.
