Austin’s Gay Men’s Chorus will absolutely not go gentle into that good night. Nor should they! With such uplifting concerts, their songs with a spin can raise even the most solemn of spirits. For this holiday season, the captivating chorus crescendos with carols to illuminate the light within us all. “Perhaps it does not begin./ Perhaps it is always,” speaks poet Jan Richardson in one of AGMC’s selections, “Where the Light Begins.” Grab hold of that eternal shimmering with the splendiferous voices of the chorus. – Cat McCarrey
