Reno (NV) – Nevada’s premier men’s choral ensemble is overjoyed to find a new state-of-the-art proscenium theater in which to perform their annual winter holiday concert. Procter R. Hug High School’s new theater presents a wonderful opportunity for NGMC as the chorus performs in this acoustically-rich and sightline-clear space, ideal for their concert-patrons, old or new.
Lights, Sparkles, Dancing, Holiday Favorites & Pure Family Fun! The Nevada Gay Men’s Chorus has it all, on stage and in the holiday spirit, as they conjure the magic of the season with traditional favorites from O Come, Emmanuel, The First Noel, and People Look East to modern classics such as Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree, and Santa Baby. It’s a don’t miss celebration in song and the perfect way to greet the holiday in all its color and cheer.
NGMC will be following all prescribed safety guidelines at the time of the performance and, as is with most live performances, masking is still suggested. This Holiday Concert will be brought to you live and live-streamed from Hug High School. For those who would like to watch the concert on their own schedule, it will be available “On-Demand” a few days after the show. NGMC can’t wait to perform this holiday spectacular in Hug’s new state-of-the-art theater!
Tickets for the on-demand show are available now for purchase. You will be able to watch the show up to three times online now through the end of February 2024.
