Today we celebrate our unique identities and reflect on how pride and authenticity show up in our lives. Host Kevin O’Conner asked classical musicians in the LGBTQIA community about their thoughts on Pride. The answers were incredibly diverse and thought-provoking. Kevin brings together those thoughts along with music performed, conducted or composed by those featured artists.
