Classical Pride, now in its third year at the Barbican, will be bringing together texts by queer poets and LGBTQ composers in a grand show recital at the Barbican Hall. The event aims to celebrate the LGBTQ+ figures that helped to pioneer the the classical music genre , as well as uplifting the future generations of LGBTQ+ performers in this music community.

Pianist Edward Picton-Turbervill, will perform alongside soprano Harriet Burns and baritone Jonathan Eyers, a collection of work from a number of past and present composers, such as Tchaikovsky, Bernstein, Judith Weir and Jonathan Dove.

Classical Pride is a non-profit organisation, with proceeds being donated to three important queer charities: Rainbow Railroad, Terrence Higgins Trust and GAY TIMES’ Amplifund.
