Lakeside Pride Pops Ensemble “That’s So Gay”

Adrienne PricePops Ensemble

The Lakeside Pride Pops Ensemble closes its season with a Pride Month kickoff! Keeping with the season theme, “It’s Our Nature,” we explore the spirit of the LGBTQ+ community. We’re reclaiming the phrase “That’s So Gay,” which was once used against us to celebrate all we are. You’ll hear some of our dearest divas (Beyoncé, Gaga, and more), as well as works like Rise and Colors Ever So Vibrant, that represent the energy and persistence we possess. It wouldn’t be a Pops concert without some surprises. Join us on June 1 to see what else we have in store.

ABOUT THIS SEASON

Lakeside Pride Music Ensembles embarks on a new chapter of self-discovery and connection with our surroundings with our 27th season – “It’s Our Nature.”

By surrounding ourselves with our chosen family, shaping our environment to create a brave and safe space, and finding common ground with all people, we will see that we’re not all that different. It’s in our DNA to care for others and form a community, for we are stronger together than we are apart. Together, we care for each other and our planet to build a resilient future.
