The Miami Gay Men’s Chorus is a big cog in the Gay Agenda. It began as a group of only six people in 1999, but over the past decade, it has swelled to 100 members of all ages, with audience growth of 30 percent every season. Plus it’s moving to increasingly larger venues, and it has connections to dozens of gay and lesbian choirs around the world. Tuesday night they’ll perform Sounds of the Season at Coral Gables Congregational Church (3010 De Soto Blvd., Coral Gables). They’ll sing a repertoire of holiday classics, including “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Twink” and “Santa Claus Is Coming to Sodom.”

Actually, they won’t be singing those songs. But it would be awesome if they did. Come for the choir’s heavenly quadruple-layer harmony and a dose of authentic and traditional holiday songs. The show begins at 8 p.m. For more info, call 305-604-8787 or visit www.miamigaychorus.org.
