GALS, the Auckland Gay and Lesbian choir is celebrating its 25th anniversary with an event that highlights an important issue for Auckland: homelessness. The choir will perform The Street Requiem composed back in 2014 to help Melbourne communities struggling with homelessness and street violence.  Composer and conductor Kathleen McGuire has worked for social justice all her life. She was based in San Francisco for many years and talks about the growing problem of homelessness and the importance of individual action.
