Atlanta Freedom Bands + Voices of Note

from Archive Atlanta · host Victoria Lemos

A special bonus episode to share my interview with Cliff Norris and David Aurilio to learn about the histories of the Atlanta Freedom Bands, a nonprofit community music organization made up of LGBTQ+ musicians and allies that includes a full concert band, marching band, jazz ensemble, and several small groups, and Voices of Note, the nonprofit organization that oversees Atlanta's LGBTQ+ choral groups, including the Atlanta Gay Men’s Chorus and the Atlanta Women’s Chorus. We covered the history of how these groups formed in Atlanta, why they were needed and how they fared through the AIDS crisis. In the upcoming weeks, each group has several concerts, including the one that I am hosting on December 20th!  Events: Holidays on Peachtree Street Atlanta Gay Men’s Chorus Atlanta Women’s Chorus Other Links: www.voicesofnote.org  www.atlantafreedombands.com  www.oursongatlanta.org  www.outfronttheatre.com  www.outonfilm.org  www.atlantaphilharmonic.org  www.southernfriedqueerpride.com -
