Classical Pride – at the Barbican

Book now

Hear queer stories of joy, hope, sorrow and resilience across multiple venues this summer.

LGBTQ+ voices have always had a presence in classical music, and for Classical Pride 2025 they’ll ring loud and proud within the vocal-led programme Voices of Pride. The glittering finale of Classical Pride in London will be celebrated in the Barbican Hall with the London Symphony Orchestra, a world premiere by Jake Heggie commissioned by Classical Pride and a line-up of star soloists. Make an evening out of it and start with a free performance in the Hall by emerging musicians at 6pm on 4 July.

Tickets: Advance booking advised.
