Christopher Street Day Munich 2026 has a strong motto: "Our diversity. Our strength." - a motto that is perfectly suited to the Rainbow Concert, which the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra is presenting for the eighth time together with the Rainbow Sound Orchestra Munich (RSOM) to kick off Pride Week.
Diversity is truly the strength of the only queer classical orchestra in Munich: The musicians of the RSOM not only live and love diversity, they also perform it, in the form of the most diverse, often newly discovered and unheard works by composers from a wide range of eras. In this year's Rainbow Concert, Mary Ellen Kitchens and Alexander Strauch will conduct works by María Luisa de Borbón, Christian Cannabich, Louise Farrenc, Marguerite Monnot, Ruth Crawford Seeger, Alexander Strauch and Leon Zmelty. As a special treat, the audience can look forward to Florence Price's Rainbow Waltz in the world premiere of the orchestral version by Alexander Strauch. An ensemble of the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra will add the icing on the cake to the varied program with exciting works in the second part.
The Rainbow Concert will be performed under the sponsorship of the Munich Rainbow Foundation on Thursday, June 11 at 7:30 pm in the Old Town Hall. Tickets at €24/€12/€11 are available online from München Ticket or the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra.
