Description

Portland Gay Men’s Chorus Returns to Rural Oregon for Bold New Rural Harmony Tour!

After a long pandemic pause, the Portland Gay Men’s Chorus (PGMC) is proudly returning to its tradition of rural outreach performances — The Rural Harmony Tour is bigger, bolder, and further east than ever before.

Between 60 and 80 singers from PGMC will embark on a three-town tour along the I-84 corridor, visiting Pendleton, La Grande, and Ontario in eastern Oregon. This marks PGMC’s first tour since COVID-19 halted travel and live performances, and it signals a renewed commitment to uplifting and connecting with LGBTQ+ individuals and allies across the state.

Saturday, July 26 – 3:00 PM
Four Rivers Cultural Center
676 SW 5th Ave, Ontario, OR
Proceeds will support critical roof repairs at the Center.
Tickets can be purchased online or at the door!

This tour is made possible through the generous support of The Roundhouse Foundation and The Ford Family Foundation, whose commitment to rural access to the arts is helping bring this music and message to eastern Oregon. Partners receive all ticket proceeds.

The Eastern Oregon tour is part of PGMC’s ongoing mission to affirm the worth of all people through music, wherever they may live.

Founded in 1980, the Portland Gay Men’s Chorus has been a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ communities through powerful performances and community engagement.

About

Four Rivers Cultural Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit located in the Western Treasure Valley, Ontario Oregon.  We are an 85,000 sq foot facility that is home to a performing arts theater, museum, Japanese garden, rotating art gallery and conference and rental facility.  Our mission and belief are that every individual should have access to the transforming power of culture, because of that belief, we provide them at the lowest cost or free.  We bring people to learn from one another and challenge the idea that our differences separate us. We do this through four tenets of our programming; Inspire, Preserve, Serve and Inform.

INSPIRE: Through an ethnically diverse presentation of arts, inspire & involve our community in transcending formed opinions, finding hope and meaning, and experiencing rich cultural expression.

PRESERVE: Hold and tell the stories of the heritage(s) that shaped and are shaping our region and nation.  Events will invite community members to participate in authentic stories of heritage & history and celebrate the important contributions each group has made.

SERVE: To intentionally use our space, skills, programming, and relationships to tackle inequities in our community.  Creating growth, education and empowerment for all peoples.  Seeking collaboration for the highest good of who we serve.

INFORM: To provide quality educational opportunities to the community and schools, filling the gap in special learning experiences in art, history, and diversity.  Present a wide array of forums and information creating connections with and for our community so they can engage in new viewpoints.
