PGMC events are a year-round highlight,
and this June’s performance is no exception.
The PGMC will join Heartland Men’s Cho­
rus of Kansas City, Mo. for a concert show­
casing distinctively American styles including
folk, spiritual, songs of protest, barbershop
and more. From “This Land is Your Land”
to “Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho,"arrange­
ments will span Native-, Mexican- and Af­
rican-American traditions. Also on the pro­
gram: the world premiere of a composition
for men’s chorus and electric cello by Portland
composer Gideon Freudmann, an appearance
by leading local mezzo-soprano Jennifer Gill
and three new arrangements of American
folk classics (among them, “Shenandoah”),
courtesy of the PGM C’s guests from Kansas
City. Just think: 2 choirs, 200 golden voices,
1-night-only. Reserve your seats now for this
sure-to-sell-out evening.
Tickets run $16-$45, available at the
PGMC box office (503-226-2588) or the
