Classical Pride
In 2023, we put on the very first concert to celebrate Pride by any major orchestra or concert hall anywhere in Europe.
This July, Classical Pride returns in an expanded five-day festival including a major concert at the Barbican with The London Symphony Orchestra, a Classical Drag Show at Outernet and eight world premieres from composers including Jake Heggie and Isobel Waller-Bridge.
It was billed as the first-ever Classical Pride concert anywhere in Europe, which seems a surprising omission. Finally came Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet, played with tremendous ardour and shrewd dramatic timing under Zeffman’s baton.
There was a big proposition casually unpackaged at this, the first Classical Pride to be presented by a leading European orchestra. If one can distil Pride spirit, perhaps it was best captured by Spence, clad in a rainbow-fringed kilt and singing Robert Burns’s My Love Is Like a Red, Red Rose with ripe abandon.
