Celebrate Pride with power chords, powerhouse vocals, and pure joy! The Gay Men’s Chorus of Charlotte presents ICONS: Pride Goes Pop—a bold, high-energy concert of anthems that have defined LGBTQ+ visibility and resilience over the past two decades.

This electrifying program features stunning choral takes on modern Pride favorites like Brave (Sara Bareilles), Dancing on My Own (Calum Scott), Follow Your Arrow (Kacey Musgraves), Born This Way (Lady Gaga), and a heart-lifting mashup of True Colors (Cyndi Lauper) and Roar (Katy Perry). You’ll also hear reimagined ballads and bangers from icons like Cher, George Michael, and ABBA—all delivered with the rich, powerful harmonies only GMCC can bring. These aren’t just songs—they’re declarations. Of love. Of identity. Of being seen and heard. Whether you're here to sing along, sway with friends, or soak in the sound of queer joy, ICONS invites you to take your place in the chorus.
