A JOYFUL NOISE

SING OUT! Gay Men’s Chorus of Houston celebrates 25 years of song this season. For many in the community, the musical group’s holiday concerts have become a tradition as anticipated as the Nutcracker. At more than 100 voices, the chorus performs this year at twin venues—the historic Grand 1894 Opera House in Galveston on December 5 and the Wortham Center in Houston on December 8, 12, and 14. The singers have also released Grateful, their first holiday recording. Pictured is one of the group’s small ensembles, under the direction of James Knapp, in final rehearsals for the December shows.
