**London Gay Symphony Orchestra (LGSO)** will be bringing these beasts and many others to life, in a performance of Saint-Saëns’ grand zoological fantasy, *Carnival Of The Animals*, which will be narrated by Miss Jason.

Miss Jason will narrate Carnival of the Animals

The evening will take a decidedly nautical turn, when Actually Gay Men’s Chorus (AGMC) lift the anchor and join LGSO to Sail The Oceans Blue with highlights from Gilbert and Sullivan’s ever popular *H.M.S. Pinafore*.

This is the first time that there has been a classical collaboration between LGSO and AGMC and everyone involved is very excited at the prospect.

**AGMC Chairman Bill Kelly, said:** *“We wanted to put on a performance featuring well-loved music that has a real sense of fun, that would appeal to individuals, families and music lovers of all ages.”*

Joining the Chorus and orchestra on stage during the evening will be acclaimed guest soloists performing favorite classics from **Puccini**, **Albinoni**, **Wagner** and **Lutoslawski** as well as well as popular Chorus numbers.

One of the highlights of the concert will be the **Poulenc** *Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra*. A beautiful work which combines drama, lightness and humour, with a madcap finale. The concerto will be performed by international concert pianists, **Coady Green** and **Christopher Wayne Smith**.
