The season closes with the titular concert Unbreakable by composer Andrew Lippa (I am Harvey Milk, Broadway’s The Wild Party, The Addams Family, Big Fish). This musical chronology of LGBTQ+ lives in America through the 20th century, is a tribute to the perseverance and power of people who would not be defeated and could not be broken. Featuring celebrated jazz vocalist Nova Payton who won a Helen Hayes Award in 2012 for her portrayal of Motormouth Mabel in Hairspray at Signature Theatre, and soprano Amy Broadbent from the United States Navy Band Sea Chanters Chorus, this stunning choral work presents stories from American LGBTQ history including; Harvard’s “Secret Court” of 1920, the life of transgender and gay activist Sylvia Rivera, The Lavender Scare and the remarkable work of Nobel Peace Prize winner Jane Addams.
