Hammersmith & Fulham Council is celebrating LGBT History Month with a free concert by gay musicians. Everyone is welcome.
The free event takes place at Hammersmith Town Hall in King Street on Wednesday 27 February.
London Gay Symphonic Winds is an LGBT orchestra made up of approximately 40 woodwind, brass and percussion players, although a smaller group will be playing on Wednesday.
They have an eclectic repertoire – from Abba to Elgar – so there’ll be music to suit every taste.
“We have a lot to thank the LGBTQ+ community for, our music, literature and art just wouldn't be the same," said Cllr Sue Fennimore, Deputy Leader of H&F Council.
“This concert is one of the ways we are celebrating LGBTQ+ talent and we’d love for you to join us.”
The free concert runs from 5.30pm to 7pm.
People are reflecting on the discrimination faced by the LGBTQ+ community as well as celebrating their achievements and culture throughout February. Find out more about LGBT History Month.
