IT IS A SPECIAL CONCERT INDEED. THIS YEAR MARKS THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE PULSE NIGHTCLUB MASSACRE. 49 DEAD, 53 WOUNDED, AND A COMMUNITY SCARRED FOREVER. THE FIRST ACT WILL BE A NEW WORK TITLED: “AMOR ETERNO, A REQUIEM FOR PULSE.” THE PIECE WAS COMMISSIONED BY THE CHORUS AND WILL MAKE ITS DEBUT AT THE SHOW. IT WAS WRITTEN BY L-A BASED COMPOSER SAUNDER CHOI. A NATIVE OF THE PHILIPPINES, HE MOVED TO AMERICA TO PURSUE “THE AMERICAN DREAM.” HE TOLD ME THAT VISION WAS SHATTERED BY THE PULSE MURDERS.
TICKETS FOR THE JUNE 19TH SHOW AT THE BROWARD CENTER ARE STILL AVAILABLE AT G-M-C-S-F DOT ORG. AND YOU CAN SEE MY FULL INTERVIEW WITH SAUNDER AT GREATER WILTON MANORS ON YOUTUBE.
