 STILL MORE MUSIC

A tribute to Thomas Jefferson, a rhapsody advocating tolerance and a Cole Porter number are on the bill for a concert featuring the Lehigh Valley Gay Men's Chorus at 8 p.m. tomorrow in Wesley United Methodist Church, 2540 N. Center St., Bethlehem. The year-old choir belongs to the Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses, along with the Valley-based A Chorus Celebrating Women. Directed by violist/composer Robert Roush and baritone Steven Olofson, the group has performed at the Stonewall/Moose Lounge and Mayfair in Allentown, and in Harrisburg with other men's choruses, the Hershey Symphony and opera singer Marilyn Horne.

This weekend's program includes Randall Thompson's "The Testament of Freedom," written to mark the 200th anniversary of Jefferson's birth; Brahms' Alto Rhapsodie, and Cole Porter's "Don't Fence Me In." Also scheduled are guest  conductor Dan Tuck's arrangement of the "Irish Blessing" and a jazz version of "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square," interpreted by the Queen City Singers, a chorus quartet.

Tickets, at $5 each, are available at the Stonewall and Beachhead Comics in Allentown and White Swan Florist in Bethlehem. Information: 821-0578.
