Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus (BGMSC) appoint Joe Paxton as new Chorus Director to continue the sterling work achieved by the outgoing Musical Director, Marc Yarrow. Previously Assistant Musical Director with BrightonGMC, Joe is no stranger to the Chorus. He teaches music both privately and at undergraduate level at the University of Sussex, where he is working towards the completion of his PhD.
The most important appointment any chorus makes is that of the person who trains and conducts the singers.
Pull A Cracker – Christmas Comes Early at Brighton Dome. THE Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus returned to the formal surroundings of the Brighton Dome last night (Saturday, December 8) for their annual Christmas show, demonstrating how vocally strong and well-drilled this chorus has become as they continue to take bold musical steps forward each year to keep their audience engaged with their choice of material.
True to their stage name, the nine female voices that make up this Brighton singing group, are combined to fight back against the useless, disloyal and – in this show – absent men of the world. The members have gathered up for a committee meeting upstairs at the Rialto Theatre, and in between reading adverts, lonely hearts letters and looking at ridiculously thin models in their women’s magazines, they sing a wide variety of compositions by the likes of Bacharach, Abba and Schubert.
