Tom Burtch San Francisco, CA 25 Jun 2010 Steven was a member of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus from October, 1978 until October, 1993 for a total of 42 concert seasons. As mentioned, he also participated in the historic 1981 National Tour of nine cities in the United States. The tour is credited with being the creative force behind the formation of the Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses which as of 2010 has more than 170 member choruses with over 7,000 singers worldwide. The obituary gives a good description of how important Steve was in the founding years of the group. He could be feisty and cantankerous on specific issues, but it was only because he was so passionate about what he felt would be the best path to follow. He last sang as a member of the Baritone section. The Chorus refers to these members who are no longer able to sing with the group as members of the "Fifth Section." They are listed Chorus programs and on the group's website: https://www.sfgmc.org/about_fifth.shtml Jenny Cunan Mosley 2 Dec 2018 I always think of Steve during the holidays. Something made me Google him today— Dec. 1, World AIDS Day, He would love to know so many yeas later that I got a lot of hits when I searched his name! We worked together for a few years in the late ‘80s and it became a tradition for me to attend the SF Gay Men’s Chorus holiday concert. He was so proud to be part of this organization and he just glowed when he sang. I was always so moved by the sign language version of Silent Night. We had a lot of fun working together. I remember laughing a lot with Steven. Copyright © 2009. No part of this database may be copied or reproduced without permission.
