Rochester , N.Y. - The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra kicked off Rochester Pride Week with an exciting announcement.
Drag queen and classically trained violinist Thorgy Thor is headed to Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre to perform with the RPO. "We applaud the RPO for actively seeking musicians and staff from diverse backgrounds, cultures and experiences," said Trillium Health's President and CEO, Jason Barnecut-Kearns. "Pride week creates a sense of community and belonging. For many LGBTQ+ individuals finding a supportive and accepting community can be lifechanging.
"We know that Rochester is a musical community, we know we have a world class orchestra, we know that we have a diverse population that celebrates the LGBTQ+ community," said Senator Cooney. "But some of the actions that we have seen over the past several months have become very disturbing. So, as someone who grew up in this community, who loves Rochester for all the diversity that it represents, I wanted to make sure that we found ways to celebrate and bring out the best.
"I quickly realized that there was a lot of LGBTQAI musicians around the world, and this is a really good idea," he said. "It's a pleasure that I can bring it to the RPO."
