The Spring-into-Summer offerings this year in the classical realm are as rich, diverse, and extensive as ever. There's even a WorldPride-affiliated event here and there, including a two-day festival that will close out May in surely the gayest way ever up at Strathmore. But don't think for a second that the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington is gonna take that lying down. In fact, for WorldPride, the organization's many choristers are planning to do a whole lot of popping up, all over the city, for two full weeks. And wouldn't you know it, they're even calling in reinforcements from all over the country.
