Formed in 2008 when two violins, a flute, an oboe, a trumpet and a French horn responded to a magazine advert, Birmingham Gay Symphony Orchestra now numbers more than 50 members, not all of whom identify as LGBT+.

Their summer concert sees them taking a musical journey through the animal kingdom, presenting a programme that features, alongside other music, The Lion King, How To Train Your Dragon, Gioachino Rossini's Thieving Magpie and Igor Stravinsky's Firebird.
