Juneau Pride Chorus Sings "Songs for the Soul"

by E. Ross

"Songs for the Soul," the 10th Anniversary Juneau Pride Chorus Spring Concert, presents an evening of music and food at the new Juneau Arts and Culture Center on May 31, at 7:30 p.m.

The concert features Chorus and audience favorites from the past 10 years, plus new songs and Cris Williamson's classic "Song of the Soul." Chorus member Maureen Johnson is the featured soloist, singing "I Am Who I Am" and "Gold." Guest artist Kevin Wood, brother of Music Director Leslie Wood, will perform a new song.

"For the first time, we have a hilarious choreographed song," said Chorus member Juanita Reese about their version of Ann Reed's "Power Tools – Are a Girl's Best Friend."

During intermission, Chorus members are providing snacks and accepting donations to Equality for All to uphold same-sex marriage in California.

The Juneau Pride Chorus is a project of PFLAG Juneau.

"We just donated several hundred dollars to the second PFLAG scholarship to graduating seniors this year," said Reese, who takes calls for PFLAG one week a month. "Juneau PFLAG sponsors one scholarship per year, but this year there were two deserving kids, so we helped out."

Tickets are available at the door or from Chorus members: $12 for students K-12 and those 65+, $15 for adults, and $30 for a family of any size.
