In this episode of the BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Podcast, host Graeme Smith meets two artists amplifying queer expression through powerful musical work — on stage, in the concert hall, and beyond.
First up: acclaimed singer-songwriter John Grant, known for his genre-spanning solo career and collaborations with legends like Elton John and Kylie Minogue. John talks about lending his unmistakable voice to A Single Man, a new ballet based on the Christopher Isherwood novel, premiering as part of the Manchester International Festival in Manchester, UK. It’s a bold step into the world of dance — bringing his lyrical intensity to a story of grief, identity, and queer love.
Then: conductor Oliver Zeffman, the founder of Classical Pride, a landmark celebration of LGBTQ+ voices in classical music. From stages across the UK to its debut at the Hollywood Bowl, Classical Pride is reshaping who gets to take centre stage — and what pride sounds like in the concert hall.
