ATLANTA, GEORGIA, UNITED STATES, February 1, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Voices of Note, Atlanta’s renowned choral organization, presents three captivating shows in their upcoming season.

“As we celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Voices of Note’s Atlanta Women’s Chorus, we are thrilled to bring back the beloved show ‘Good Girls Gone Bad,’ now aptly renamed ‘Sugar and Spice”,” said Melissa Arasi, Artistic Director. “From the early days of AWC, this production has always reflected the diverse facets within us. This time, it’s a celebration of our identity, embracing the journey from fairytale princesses and heroines to Broadway villains and naughty girls, delving into the baddies of rock and pop.”

With much to celebrate, AWC shares a list of their upcoming performances, with something for everyone’s taste:

The narrative encompasses discussions on gay rights and the diverse musical influences that have originated from this vibrant city, spanning classical, popular, and hip-hop genres. The collective acknowledgment is that while there is pride in being Southerners and in Atlanta’s rich heritage, there remains a recognition of ongoing work and a commitment to continuous improvement.

In addition to the enchanting AWC’s performances, Voices of Note invites audiences to experience “TRANSformation” with the Atlanta Gay Men’s Chorus.

“This visceral, captivating, illuminating, and transformational musical portrayal of the ever-evolving heart journey of authenticity for a trans and gender-expansive person is remarkable.”, said Gabrielle Claiborne, Trans Activist and Voices of Note Board Member. “The narrative arc masterfully normalizes our existence as just another lovely aspect of mankind while capturing our daily experiences’ subtleties and complexity. It’s as if I’m looking in the mirror and watching my life unfold again before my very eyes. I appreciate AGMC for this brilliant and timely act of advocacy.”
