Did you know that some of classical music's most iconic and recognizable works like The Nutcracker, West Side Story, and Carnival of the Animals were all written by LGBTQ+ composers? Come take a journey through queer classical music history as we explore some of the highlights from notable  composers including Bernstein, Tchaikovsky, Boulanger and more! Curated and led by Monarch's LGBTQ+ identifying core musicians Russell Rybicki and Julian Hernandez, this program will be as much a concert as a celebration!

This concert is free and open to the public. Come early to grab a good spot, and don’t forget a chair or blanket to sit on!
