Heartland Men’s Chorus of Kansas City, MO will return to Eureka Springs to perform a benefit concert for Ozarks AIDS Resources & Services (OARS) on Saturday, November 23, 7 pm, at The Auditorium. It has been reported that this Chorus, “consistently proves itself one of the most exciting and talented choral groups working in the Midwest.”

All monies raised stay in Carroll County to assist OARS with their programs and projects, including a free HIV/AIDS clinic currently serving 55 patients.

The Chorus will present their acclaimed 2012 musical documentary program, “When I Knew,” which brings together music with narration and visuals to share personal coming-out stories from Chorus members. Conceived and created by Artistic Director Dr. Joseph Nadeau, this performance will mark the final time that Dr. Nadeau conducts the program as he has recently been appointed Artistic Director of the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles.

A program that is both moving and entertaining, the premiere performances of the program in Kansas City and Denver last year were narrated by Dan Savage as he and the Chorus shared messages of hope and healing, and the promise that “It Gets Better.” In the second act of the concert, HMC will give a preview of their upcoming Holiday Concert “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” to be presented in Kansas City on December 6-8.

VIP tickets are $25 each; general admission tickets will be $15 each for all other seats. Call 870/480-7476 or visit the HMC web site (www.hmckc.org) to reserve your seats. Except for the sponsorship seats, all other sections will be seated on a first-come basis the evening of the concert.
