From: "Jay Moseley" Date: Tue, 01 Feb 2000 19:18:03 -0500 Subject: renowned jazz singer to perform with OneVoice chorus (CHARLOTTE) Renowned jazz singer Daryle Ryce will headline the annual Gala for One Voice, Charlotte most diverse chorus. This year's event, titled "Dance! Chance! Romance!" is on Saturday, February 12th from 7:00 PM - Midnight at the Mint Museum of Art, 2730 Randolph Rd. "It's Valentine's weekend and we're throwing a party that truly has something for everyone," said Ann Hooper, this year's Gala chairperson. "Music by our special guest, Daryle Ryce; a fabulous Fantasy Auction and Silent Auction; romantic jazz standards by Charlotte's favorite choruses, One Voice and Sotto Voce; a New York style piano bar for easy listening or courageously letting the Ethel Merman in you come out; and a relaxing gay 19(90)'s coffeehouse, with scrumptious desserts, for spending quiet moments with that special someone. For the second half of the evening, Daryle Ryce and her Rock 'n Roll Pickup Band will move to the Atrium for some late-night dancing." "Music is universal and because our message is so inclusive, we attract patrons from across the various racial, ethnic and sexual orientation boundaries," said Artistic Director John C. Quillin. "As with all One Voice events, we transcend society's cultural barriers to bring to Charlotte an evening that can be enjoyed by everyone." "Unlike our holiday and spring concerts which are presented in an auditorium, our Gala event is one where our guests get to move throughout the museum and choose what they will see and do next," said Kathryn A. Mahan, the chorus' Assistant Artistic Director. "It?s a wonderful social occasion and promises to be full of surprises." Doors open to the public at 7:00. There will be a cash bar. Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door, and are available from chorus members, from Paper Skyscraper, The Bag Lady, White Rabbit, Georgetown Bodyworks, Rainbow Path or by calling 529-2951(voice mail). Through artistic excellence, One Voice Chorus works to increase understanding and acceptance of gays and lesbians. Our achievement in choral music enables us to reach diverse groups to overcome misperceptions and to grow personally, both as performers and as leaders in our community. The Chorus consists of two performing ensembles: One Voice, a 50-voice non-auditioned chorus; and Sotto Voce, a 16-voice auditioned ensemble. ____________________________________________________________________ The Charlotte Rainbow Newsletter, established April 1997, is a free e-mail newsletter providing local, regional, and national news and events of interest to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community of the Carolinas and beyond.
