Danny Beard and 32-piece orchestra bring night of Pride classics to Manchester
A 32-piece orchestra will be taking classic Pride anthems and giving them a new lease of life in an exciting and ground-breaking show coming to the Bridgewater Hall.
"We're taking pop, disco, country and dance tracks and putting them into a full symphony orchestra. What the team has achieved is just astonishing.” And the team is also keen to get rid of some of the ‘stuffy and formal’ perceptions surrounding classical music too. Rachel Whibley, Managing Director, said: “We’re the opposite of the perception of classical music. We want people to have their eyes opened to classical music.
Alongside the Pride classics we all know and love, the show will also feature one brand new song performed by a group of neurodivergent people from Stockport-based group LGBT + PLUS Spectrum. The group have been meeting fortnightly with music therapist Amina Hussain and teacher Keith Doran to come up with a new Pride classic to sit amongst the rest.
