Who hasn’t at some point in their lives been troubled by some aspect of their appearance?
This reaction is a human one that most people share. This Is Me! musically looks at this issue
of self-acceptance from many angles and perspectives.
The newly commissioned work, EveryBODY is the impetus behind the theme, but we have expanded this work to include many other songs that speak to the personal struggles that individuals, regardless of ethnicity or gender, may encounter through life. EveryBODY was commissioned by Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus, Turtle Creek Chorale, Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, Atlanta Women’s Chorus, One Voice Chorus, and the Appalachian Equality Chorus. Composers of this work include Kyle Pedersen, Gerald Gurss, B.E. Boykin, Sharon Udoh, and Melissa Dunphy and some of our additional selections are by Mary Lambert, India Irie, Sia, and P!nk. The songs celebrate all voicings, Soprano and Alto, Tenor and Bass, and all voices together!
As the Atlanta Women’s Chorus and the Atlanta Gay Men’s Chorus unite forces for this show it is an opportunity for a shared focus on supporting people where they are! Songs from many genres will captivate you as we speak from the heart about our own insecurities and triumphs! You will leave celebrating yourself just as you are!
