PV Men's Chorus Winter Concert - Thursday 

Puerto Vallarta Men’s Chorus is celebrating the continued growth of the Chorus with our Winter Concert, Higher and Higher, Mucho Más Alto.

PVMC’s Winter Concert will present a musical picture of the progress of the Chorus, a “coming of age” metaphor in song. The concert represents a parallel struggle: the Chorus as it matures through its first few years of existence, and gay youth learning to surmount obstacles, find their identity and mature to adulthood.

The Winter Concert is the concept of PVMC’s new Artistic Director, Alfonso López. “Higher and Higher is about overcoming difficulties to the point where you believe in yourself, about growing our hearts and building our dreams. It’s a process in which we all participate.”

Enjoy our Higher and Higher concerts at Act II Stages – Main Stage, Insurgentes 300 (entrance on Basilio Badillo) in the Romantic Zone at 8:00 pm on Thursday, December 4; Friday, December 12; and Saturday, December 13.
