Members of the Chor Leoni Men’s Choir will be giving a special performance at the release of Sad Mag‘s Issue 6! Check out a sneak peek of this article, in which the choir’s Director of Communications, Bruce Hoffman chats with Daniel Zomparelli.

“We’re a classical choir that is focused first on the art and the music: sexuality doesn’t come into play,” Hoffman says. Masculinity finds a new space in the men’s choir: strong, powerful voices and hard work make a great candidate for the ensemble. “I think that any man that is comfortable enough to sing is pretty comfortable in their sense of who they are,” Hoffman says. “I strongly believe that it’s the way that the world should be. If men sang more often together rather than finding out ways of killing each other, the world would be a better place.”
