As musicians, we bring our unique identities, life experiences, and deepest emotions into our music making. An orchestra is the collection of all these elements, and every member must do the work to actively find ways to reach harmony in order to create a richer whole. As proud members of the LGBTQ community in the @MetOrchestra, we hope our work can inspire communities around the world and join us in celebrating what it means to be “different” through our music. Happy Pride Month from the @MetOrchestra and @MetOpera! Featuring Met Orchestra musicians Seth Morris, Shari Hoffman, Evan Epifanio, and Sasha Romero. Arrangement by Dov Scheindlin. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ #Orchestra #DiversityInMusic #CelebrateDifferences

What a night! Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Great Stages Concert in Marian Anderson Hall. The energy and enthusiasm surrounding this historic occasion was palpable. We’re still starstruck from the spectacular lineup! 🤩 Queen Latifah served as our incomparable host, and Music and Artistic Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the Orchestra were joined by Latonia Moore, Audra McDonald, Angel Blue, Marcus Roberts, and the St. Thomas Gospel Choir for deeply impactful performances connected to Marian Anderson. The concert opened with “My Country, ’Tis of Thee” and closed with a newly orchestrated version of Florence Price’s “My Soul’s Been Anchored in the Lord,” both sung by Anderson on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1939 after she was denied the opportunity to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington, DC, because of her race. Thank you to all who joined us on Saturday for this spectacular event! 📸 Pete Checchia @petesart
