BGSO Pride Proms
the pride proms by birmingham gay symphony orchestra The Midlands’ very own Birmingham Gay Symphony Orchestra (BGSO) is presenting a special Pride Proms concert on the weekend of Birmingham Pride. The event, held in conjunction with Birmingham Pride, takes place at Adrian Boult Hall, Birmingham Conservatoire, on Saturday 24 May at 7pm, and features proms favourites, well-known anthems and popular tunes. The concert is hosted by local comedian Barbara Nice and features an orchestra primarily made up of Birmingham and Midlands-based musicians. A specially formed BGSO chorus of singers from the Midlands LGBT community also performs on the night. So if you’re looking for something a bit different to do over the Pride weekend, then be sure to pop along for what promises to be a magical evening of music. Advance tickets for the Pride Proms concert are available from www.bgso.co.uk for £10 (£8 concessions) or on the door at a price of £12 (£10 concessions). Family tickets are also available.
