This show embraces everything from fairytale princesses and heroines to Broadway villains and naughty girls, to the baddies of rock and pop! It’s sure to bring out both the good side and the naughty as we let down our hair (or cut off) for this special event.

Jeffrey McIntyre founded the Atlanta Gay Men’s Chorus in 1981 because he knew that the negative things being said about gay men and gay culture in the media were propaganda and he wanted to get a group together to tell true, beautiful stories. For over 40 years the AGMC has been telling meaningful, powerful, accurate queer stories. The truth is, queer stories told with honesty and integrity are universal stories that will move any audience member. Today, the trans community is under fire from the same people who were spouting hateful nonsense 4 decades ago. TRANSformation is a concert focused on the trans experience. Curated by a group of trans and non-binary members of the Atlanta Gay Men’s Chorus and Atlanta Women’s Chorus as well as members of the broader Atlanta trans community, these songs acknowledge the struggle and celebrate the beauty and authenticity of choosing to be your true self in spite of myriad societal pressures. We’ll experience some of the pain and isolation of pre-transition existence like in “Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls (“I don’t want the world to see me ‘cause I don’t think that they’d understand”) and “Reflection” from Mulan (“When will my reflection show who I am inside?”). The yearning we’ve all felt to find where we belong in songs like “Corner of the Sky” from Pippen and “Lost Boy” by Ruth B.. More than anything, we’ll celebrate the courage it takes and the joy it brings to be your true, authentic self in this world with “All I Know so Far” by P!NK, a new arrangement of Bob Dylan’s “Times They Are A-Changin’” and “This is Me” from The Greatest Showman.
The AWC explores what it means to call Atlanta home! From the Native Americans that called this area home, the Civil War, the Civil Rights Movement, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy, and gay rights, to classical, popular and hip-hop music that has been derived here – there is so much that makes Atlanta a rich and diverse city!
