Rhythms of the Rainbow
Join Curator Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews for a special 2-hour talk during LGBTQ+ History Month that will rewrite your understanding of music history!
For centuries, the significant contributions of LGBTQIA+ people as innovators, performers, and lyricists have often been overlooked or hidden by music historians. This illuminating talk aims to uncover these incredible stories, showing just how deeply LGBTQIA+ individuals have shaped the music we love.
Keith will take us on a journey starting in the Middle Ages and moving right through to recent decades. We’ll delve into the lives of composers and performers across classical, folk, and pop, and importantly, we’ll hear actual music and compositions that profoundly influenced the development of Western music.
Don’t miss this truly insightful and celebratory experience that shines a spotlight on hidden musical pioneers.
