Dr. Tim Seelig Birthday Fundraiser for the Portland Sage Singers: Q+ Elders and Allies
Another Birthday? Nooooo! You’ve all felt that before. On January 10, I marked three quarters of a century on this planet! This year also marks my 40th anniversary of coming out! For decades, I have used round number birthdays to help raise funds for organizations I love. My 70th was for the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus, of course. Well, here I am at 75 still waving my arms at people. This big round birthday is benefiting the Portland Sage Singers: Q+ Elders and Allies (PSS). There are now 90 singers with an average age of 70!
I can guarantee your donation will be put to great use to help give the Sage Singers a firm financial foundation for the years ahead. The graphic couldn’t accommodate all the music I’ve been lucky enough to make with you! PSS is the 5th LGBTQ+ chorus I’ve had the privilege to conduct over the last 39 years. You know them well: the Turtle Creek Chorale, The Women’s Chorus of Dallas, Resounding Harmony, the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus, and now the precious Portland elders. Lucky me!
There is a very user-friendly donation portal through Givebutter. The link is
When I was younger, I never imagined I would be this old! I certainly never could have imagined the beauty in my life: the place where I live, the husband of my dreams, a completely co-dependent puppy dog, friends far and near, and that I am still making music. You all have kept me going and kept me young! Thank you all for being a part of it along the way!
Dr. Tim Seelig is the Conductor Laureate of the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus. http://www.timseelig.com/
