Quarryland Men’s Chorus, a positive performance-based community for gay and bisexual men/trans men and their allies, presents their annual winter concert entitled Walking Together. Walking Together features the men of the chorus, renowned vocalist Sylvia McNair, Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton, Indiana University (IU) BFA student, Colin LeMoine, and IU Jacobs School of Music student, Benjamin St John, performing Tyler’s Suite.

Tyler’s Suite is a new and lauded nine-piece choral movement dedicated to the memory of Tyler Clementi, a talented young musician who died by suicide after being bullied by his roommate during his first weeks of college.

Created under the leadership of composer Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin) and Dr. Timothy Seelig (Conductor/Artistic Director of the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus), Tyler’s Suite explores the voices and experiences of Tyler and his family through the music of nine of today’s top composers: John Bucchino, Ann Hampton Callaway, Craig Carnelia, John Corigliano, Stephen Flaherty, Nolan Gasser Jake Heggie, Lance Horne, and Stephen Schwartz.

This powerful collection of songs moves audiences and singers alike and ultimately shines a light of hope for a safer, kinder world in line with the mission of the Tyler Clementi Foundation, which works to end all forms of online and offline bullying in schools, workplaces, and faith communities

Cost: $15 Adults; $12 Seniors and Students with ID; Under 12 Free
