LGSO bring some sparkle to midwinter with Dvorak’s Carnival Overture, then spoil us with second helpings of that composer, whose Cello Concerto is served hot with super-talented soloist George Hoult. For dessert expect the ‘heavenly pleasures’ of Mahler’s Symphony No. 4. London Gay Symphony Orchestra is the UK's oldest LGBT orchestra and one of only a handful in the world. Founded in 1996, the LGSO has given four or more concerts every year for the past nineteen years at venues including Royal Festival Hall; toured internationally to Paris and Zagreb; performed with Jimmy Somerville, Rosalind Plowright and Sue Perkins; recorded a score for the cult film Pervirella; commissioned work from upcoming composers; and raised thousands for charities such as Albert Kennedy Trust.
