Under the direction of Robert Barney, the chorus has recorded nine selections of new music commissioned by gay choruses— six of the works were commissioned by BGMC. “I’m proud of what a unique offering this CD is. It is a musically significant contribution to the choral music field, as well as an important docu ment about what the gay and lesbian choral movement has accomplished,” said Barney. “As a community chorus, we tackled extremely diffi cult music and met the challenge with flying colors. Doing a recording is something we have talked about for years, but we wanted to wait until the time was right so we could produce some thing of real quality.” Works by composers Stuart Raleigh (Words fo r the Future), Howard Rosner {You Shall Above All Things), Daniel Pinkham (Down an Amherst Path), and Bobby McFerrin (Psalm 23) are in cluded on the premiere recording, which is avail able on CD or cassette. Founded in 1982, the 90-member chorus has appeared in performances from coast to coast.

M useum E xhibit S potlights G ay and L esbian C ulture “In a Different Light” is the title of the first exhibition presented by a major museum to ex plore the role of lesbian and gay culture in U.S. art history. The exhibit was organized by the Uni versity Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive of the University of California at Berkeley and is curated by Nayland Blake and Lawrence Rinder. In an as yet unorthodox approach, the exhibit presents gay and lesbian aesthetic sensibilities as being central, rather than marginal, to main stream U.S. culture. Included in the exhibit are nearly 100 artists, both gay and straight, and many rare works. Organized around themes such as self, couples, family, orgy, world and utopia, “In a Different Light encompasses both fine art and popular culture, such as album covers, magazines and posters, in a variety of media— painting, sculp ture, photography, drawing, video, ceramics and print. The exhibit is set to open Jan. 11,1995 and run through April 9. An accompanying catalog is published by City Lights Books of San Francisco. Compiled by Jann Gilbert
