Show The Park Record C-4 Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, August 5-8, 2017 Continued From C-1 Chorus returns to Park City [comprised] of our ‘show girls,’ and has been around for 39 years,” Seelig said. “Vocal Minority is next, and they’re rooted in jazz and pop -- with luscious, close harmonies -- and are just plain fun.” The next ensemble is called SWAG, an acronym for See, We Are Gay. “[They] bring a unique soulful beat to their performances. They’re dedicated to R&B, gospel and pop,” Seelig said. “Then last is our newest ensemble, HomoPhonics, who perform a cappella, and are born out of the collegiate a cappella craze.” We have equal components to what we do: music and mission. Neither is more important than the other...” SAN FRANCISCO GAY MEN’S CHORUS Tim Seelig San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus artistic director Sunday August 6 at 7pm The San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus formed in the city’s Castro District in 1978 under the direction of Jon Reed Sims. On the day of its fourth rehearsal, the chorus learned of the assassination of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and City Supervisor Harvey Milk, both of whom were openly gay. Conductor Dick Kramer handed out the sheet music to Mendelsohn’s “Thou, Lord Our Refuge,” that the chorus would sing at the candlelight vigil at City Hall later that evening. The performance was the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus’ world debut. Since then, the chorus has performed and spread its message of Deer Valley® Resort Tickets from $41 Box Office 435-655-3114 parkcityinstitute.org Gates open at 5:30 PM The New York Times crossword puzzle BY DESIGN To mark the 75th anniversary of the New York Times crossword, which debuted in 1942, we are publishing a series of puzzles co-created by famous people who solve the Times crossword, working together with regular Times puzzle contributors.

Neither is more important than the other. We hope that our music truly inspires and empowers people to be courageous and, quite honestly, be grateful for who we are and the time in which we live – hard as that may be right now.” A few weeks ago, the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus was one of the most in-demand performers in their town. “The end of June was quite an exciting time for [us],” Seelig said. “In the span of one week, we were honored and performed for the California state legislature for their LGBT Pride Caucus, sang the national anthem at the Giants baseball game, and were grand marshals of San Francisco Pride. “Being selected as Community Grand Marshal was awesome. To march in front of approximately 1 million people was amazing. SFGMC marches every year, of view. “We’ll be bringing a small group of Chorus members ... to share stories, sing and talk with the residents. “As you may be aware, the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus is embarking on a landmark tour of the Deep South this fall (and will visit) states that have major discriminatory laws aimed at the lesbian gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community. It is our hope that SFGMC’s music will encourage LGBTQ people and our allies to come together, provoke conversations and action around civil liberties for all, while raising funds for local LGBTQ organizations.” The visit to Encircle joins with the chorus’ mission of strengthening the community through shared dialogue and music. “We’re incredibly proud of the work that Encircle is already doing in the community and so glad we can be a part of it,” Verdugo said. Orr said these types of outreach programs fall under the Park City Institute’s mission to entertain, educate and illuminate. “It is at the core of who we are,” she said. “The chorus originally was going to tour Europe in October, but after the Presidential election, it realized it had work to do here at home. When I saw that, I thought we could start that a little sooner. So this is a preview of what they are going to do.” 31 35 44 56 72 13 Provo nonprofit is a LGBTQ resource When the Park City Institute schedules performers for its St. Regis Big Stars, Bright Nights summer concerts and the Main Stage concerts at the Eccles Center for the Performing Arts, it also tries to schedule additional outreach sessions with local students and organizations. The San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus, which will perform Sunday, will present a special outreach program on Saturday, said Teri Orr, Park City Institute executive director. Seventeen of the singers will meet with Encircle, a Provo-based lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender or LGBT youth and family resource center. “This is the (nonprofit) group that had their entry pulled from Provo’s (Freedom Festival Fourth of July Parade),” Orr said. News reports stated the Freedom Festival rescinded Encircle’s invitation, because the parade official deemed the organization an advocacy group. The meeting will be in Provo shortly after the chorus arrives in Utah and is made possible by private donors, Orr said. Chris Verdugo, San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus executive director, said the singers are excited to meet Encircle. “When we initially began planning this trip to Utah, we didn’t even know it was a possibility to visit, but we’re thrilled we’ve been able to make it happen,” Verdugo said in an email inter- 26 51 55 76 12 30 50 71 11 22 29 38 49 10 25 28 33 109 8 21 32 99 7 24 27 54 6 20 CHORUS MEMBERS WILL MEET WITH ENCIRCLE 58 Quattro minus uno Edict “Take it!” Nutmeg State collegian Cry of exasperation Warlords, e.g. Medium-to-poor Ideal Drunk’s problem Cop’s target Cans One may be tipped Goes through Creator of an ancient pyramid scheme?
