Description
The 2008 Pride Concert celebrates the 30TH anniversary OF SF L/G Freedom Band & the LGBTQ Music Movement.

The San Francisco Lesbian/Gay Freedom Band celebrates its 30th anniversary with the Lesbian/Gay Chorus of San Francisco and San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus at the 2008 Pride Concert: Our Message Is Music.

The concert kicks off pride weekend with music that covers a rainbow of expression – from classical to Broadway, from gospel to world, from jazz to cabaret – showcasing some of the flashiest music written for wind ensemble and for choruses. Celebration features John Barrowman (Thursday) and other special celebrity guests; former Band conductors; and a historic display, including the baton LGBTQ music movement founder Jon Sims used to conduct the Band at Davies Hall in 1980. Concert takes place 8 pm, Thursday, June 26 and Friday, June 27, at First Unitarian Universalist Church, 1187 Franklin Street (at Geary), San Francisco.
