Christmas concert will feature Tchaikovsky and ’camp classics’
The London Gay Symphony Orchestra is to perform a Christmas concert at St Sepulchre-without-Newgate, the largest parish church in the City.
The LGSO is the largest in the UK and it’s members have performed at the Royal Festival Hall on London’s Southbank, as well as other international venues.
Christopher Braime, the conductor of the Christmas Concert, said: ’Christmas is a sensory time of year – the sights, the smells and, most importantly for me, the sounds: as soon as I hear the opening bars of The Nutcracker, Christmas leaps to life from the score.
’After all those hot ballet boys, Finlandia is an icy shower; The Snow Maiden lures with ice and fire and Dvorak invites us to don our party frocks and dance like a Slavonic.’
The LGSO perform only four times a year and are active in raising funds for charities such as Amnesty International and the Albert Kennedy Trust.
You can purchase tickets for the concert on 9 December here. The performance begins at 7pm.
