LICF Gospel Choir Performs at GLBT Arts Festival

Posted on October 12, 2010 | Filed Under Choir  

LICF’s Gospel Choir rounded out the roster of fabulous entertainment showcased at LICF’s first GLBT Arts Festival.  This event, a brainchild of our late Pastor Shane Hibbs, was a very successful event held at Stuart Thomas Manor in Farmingdale, NY on September 25th.   The day’s long event opended with LI Gay Men’s Chorus.  Other performers included a cabaret singer, an all women rock band and a male song stylist among others. 

Our Gospel Choir extended their set of three songs to six at the last minute to cover a last minute performer cancellation.  Our choir rose to the challenge and sang beautifully, even being called back for an encore!  Pastor Shane would have been proud at the job well done.

In addition  to the Pastor’s paintings, a variety of other GLBT artists showed their wares.  There were painters, photographers, ceramics, hand-painted clothing, jewelry and crafts.  The artists and their work are a testament to the talent and beauty added to the world by our GLBT community.

Largely due to the success of this festival, it is going to be an annual event, with our Choir continuing to be a large part of the day’s event.
