Philadelphia Voices of Pride Celebrates
Gay Singers/Songwriters and Partners with Mazzoni Center
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - October 17, 2011 – Philadelphia Voices of Pride (PVOP) is pleased to announce its next concert, Glitter in the Air. Glitter in the Air celebrates modern music from famed gay composers and singer/songwriters (Stephen Sondheim, Elton John), landmark musicals (Rent), and staunch allies (Lady Gaga). In honor of its groundbreaking portrayal of a gay teenager, PVOP is singing songs from the television show, Glee.
The title of our concert comes from the hit ballad by Pink, an admiringly adamant supporter of LGBTQ rights. While our concert highlights the fantastic work of gay musicians, we also felt we should honor our straight allies who stand alongside us in our fight for equality.
Glitter in the Air will be held Saturday, November 19th, at 8pm at The Church of St. Luke and the Epiphany, 330 S. 13th St. Philadelphia, PA. Tickets cost $20 and are available at the door. Please visit www.pvop.org for more information.
PVOP is also excited to announce its partnership with Mazzoni Center for this concert. The audience will not only get the chance to hear great music; they will get the opportunity to learn more about or donate to one of our favorite charities, the Mazzoni Center.
