When Irish Eyes Are Smiling

Now that Voices Rising gave a fantabulous concert performance last weekend with our music from WOMENfolk, it's time that we gear up for GALA... and singing with the Boston Gay Men's Chorus and Glória, Ireland's gay and lesbian choir for our GALA Kick Off concert on July 11, 8pm at Arlington Street Church. Not that it's not fabulous to sing with the gay men (truly, it is always a pleasure), but check out Glória and these photos. Faith and begorra, they are awesome!


I am very excited to be singing with these lovely Irish lads and lasses upon the greeny grass (or ok... church off of the Boston Common)! If you have time for a pint, ask Susan Clinkenbeard (Voices Rising member, soprano 2) about her time in Ireland with the singers of Glória. May more good times abound in Miami!

Julia Keller is a Voices Rising Leadership Team member, a highest of the high sopranos, and a deep and abiding fan of ladies with red hair and an Irish lilt in their voices. *swoon*
