Join the Harmony "Melodies for a Movement" - A Beacon of Hope and Celebration

This March, an event like no other will resonate through the hallowed halls of the New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall. The Boston Gay Men’s Chorus (BGMC) presents “Melodies for a Movement,” a concert series dedicated not only to the memory of Tyler Clementi but as a celebration of his life and a powerful stand against the cyber-harassment and bullying so many LGBTQ+ youths face today.

Why You Can't Miss This

A Musical Triumph Over Adversity: Through the evocative strains of “Tyler’s Suite” and the spellbinding performance by Ann Hampton Callaway, this concert aims to do more than entertain. It seeks to touch hearts, open minds, and inspire a wave of change towards greater empathy, understanding, and acceptance across every corner of society.

A Call to Action
Melodies for a Movement is a rallying cry for all of us to contribute to a world where safety, inclusion, and respect are not the realities for everyone, especially within the LGBTQ+ community.

An Experience to Remember
Prepare for an evening of unforgettable music that sounds and feels good. This is an opportunity to be part of a transformative experience that blends the universal language of music with the passionate pursuit of social justice.
