About Rainbow City Orchestra
Rainbow City Orchestra welcomes members of all abilities, backgrounds, and identities. We are brought together for a shared space of support and growth to play music for a different purpose than most orchestras. Our concerts a filled with music to highlight and celebrate marginalized artists and identities while sharing our performances with artists that represent, uplift, and excite LGBTQIA+ communities. We're growing to include many members who have not felt accepted in their identity in other groups, or who wish to play more diverse styles of music. Allies are also welcome and we are all one family together that spans identity, race, and class distinction.
