BGSO is the Midlands’ leading LGBTQ+ orchestra, bringing musicians together in a welcoming, non-scene space for shared music-making. BGSO is open to players of all identities and experience levels, we celebrate and showcase the diversity of our communities through ambitious orchestral performance. We present three concerts a year in venues around Birmingham and rehearse every two weeks. As long as we have a vacancy within the orchestra, we welcome musicians of all abilities and backgrounds. All we ask is that you are over 16 years of age, and can commit to attend most rehearsals. For some positions (such as principal seats), we may invite you to join BGSO on a trial basis, dependent on your experience.
