On Friday, June 19, 2026, the Gay Men’s Chorus of South Florida will present Invincible, a landmark Pride concert marking the 10th anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub tragedy. Emerging from tragedy to triumph is a defining truth of the LGBTQ+ community, and this powerful evening centers remembrance, resilience, and unity. Coinciding with Juneteenth, the program also celebrates ongoing fights for freedom and equality, fostering community solidarity. Featuring over 200 voices, Invincible aims to inspire and bring together supporters and allies alike. The concert will take place at 8:00 PM at the Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.
Anchoring the program is the world premiere of Amor Eterno: A Requiem for Pulse, a newly commissioned work by acclaimed composer Saunder Choi. Known for emotionally resonant choral writing, Choi’s requiem serves as the artistic heart of the evening. The premiere honors those who lost their lives and celebrates resilience, fostering a sense of shared purpose and hope.
“I am deeply moved to be working with Saunder Choi on Amor Eterno,” said Artistic Director Gabe Salazar. “His music carries grief with tenderness and transforms it into something luminous. Bringing this work to life with our singers is an honor and a powerful act of remembrance and hope.”
Invincible is sponsored by Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, CAN Community Health, The Bears of South Florida, and Emerald Senior Care, with additional support from the Warten Foundation and Funding Arts Broward.
“The Warten Foundation is proud to underwrite this timely, original composition commemorating the upcoming 10th anniversary of the tragic Pulse Nightclub shooting. The heinous attack on the Orlando LGBTQ community and the 49 lives lost must never be forgotten,” says John Hand and Randy James of the Warten Foundation. “We commend the Gay Men’s Chorus of South Florida for honoring and paying tribute to those we lost by making this unique piece of music the centerpiece for their Invincible Concert. May this further serve as a fitting acknowledgment of the resilience of our Florida LGBTQ community as we continue to vie for equality despite misguided efforts to defund our causes and erase our identifying symbols from the Florida landscape.”
