I didn’t catch this video at the time, and Facebook just sent it to me. It captures the huge sound, but also the spirit.

I am so proud of what we accomplished, I have to say … We did the work, both in devising and commissioning the piece from six such different composers, and then in assembling the coalition of choirs to make it happen across the country. I am also hugely grateful for the opportunity to conduct my final show with such a huge chorus at one of the world’s most iconic venues. And it sold out! Thanks to everyone involved for trusting us. It was only a year ago, but what a different time!

Let’s work hard so we can reclaim our optimism, our kindness, our compassion, our forgiveness and our hope later this year.

Stay safe, and Happy Pride 2020, everyone!
