Under the artistic direction of John Stanley Ross, Charlotte Pride Band closes this season with a "Spring Fling" concert. This concert serves "lighter fare" with fun works by George Gershwin (“Porgy and Bess”), Karl King (“Barnum and Bailey’s Favorite”), Joseph Wilcox Jenkins (“American Overture for Band”), Gustav Holst (“First Suite in E-flat”) and Steven Bryant (“Suite Dreams”). Tickets are $15 and may be purchased at the door or online at http://www.charlotteprideband.org/!tickets/.
CPB begins its ninth year and has approximately 50 members drawn from the greater Charlotte’s LGBTQI community and ally supporters. For more information: charlotteprideband@gmail.com.
