Classical Pride: West Side Story Suite & Appalachian Spring

90 York Way, London, N1 9AG

Description

As part of Classical Pride, step into a world of rich storytelling and bold musical expression with trumpeter Aaron Azunda Akugbo and Manchester Camerata. Classical Pride is an annual music festival curated by conductor Oliver Zeffman to celebrate the breadth and diversity of LGBTQ+ artists across classical music.

From the raw emotion of Joy Guidry’s They Know What They’ve Done to Us—a striking fusion of trumpet and electronics—to the sweeping beauty of Copland’s Appalachian Spring, this concert is a journey through resilience, nostalgia, and joy. Poulenc’s playful Banalités leads into the electrifying rhythms of Bernstein’s West Side Story Suite. A celebration of identity and artistry, this promises to be an afternoon of unforgettable music.
