Tell us your stories!

Do you have a story related to a queer artist of color who left an indelible impact on you?

Perhaps they were not openly LGBTQ+ but hinted at it, or were rumored to be, but still planted a seed of awareness that shaped your world or left you with a special memory.

Reveille would like to invite you to share your experience with us and our audience!

Please submit your story via email to info@reveillemenschorus.org

Feel free to include your name or remain anonymous. We may select a few stories to share in our upcoming DIVO concert on stage, online, or in print.

Meet our arrangers!

Julio Morales, of Xalapa, Veracruz, is a Mexican choral conductor, composer, arranger, pianist, and music educator. His current engagements include serving as the choral conductor in the Community Choir Program of the Instituto Veracruzano de la Cultura, as well as a vocalist with the vocal ensemble, Exigence, out of Detroit, MI. In 2012, he became the founding conductor of Vox Populi Project, an internationally-admired ensemble that cultivates traditional Mexican rhythms through the lens of a cappella Latin Pop. In 2018, he was also appointed conductor of the youth choir, Naolincanto, which is now part of the Community Choirs Program of the Instituto Veracruzano de la Cultura. His choral arrangements of traditional music from Veracruz and original compositions are performed around the world and admired for their gorgeous melodies and rhythmic energy that create a feeling of forward motion. His original music is inspired by Mexican folk music, jazz and classical styles.
