BOVTS Queer Choir Sings with Pride

As Pride Month draws to a close and preparations for Bristol’s Pride Day are well underway, the Theatre School has found a way to join in with celebrations… through song!

In May, Jonty Grosberg (Head of Music and Singing) established a Queer Choir to record a special song in celebration of the LGBTQ+ community. The song All We Want Is Love – which some may recognise from its inclusion on Netflix show Grace & Frankie by Norwegian singer-songwriter Ane Brun – focuses on the universal need for love. With Ane’s blessing, and a four part arrangement by Catherine Courtley, BOVTS students and staff rehearsed together over three days to bring the song to life.

The group then headed to Christchurch Studios – the School’s Clifton-based recording studio – to record the song.

BOVTS wishes all of our students, staff, alumni and friends a happy and safe Pride!

Training at BOVTS set me up with the skillset, confidence and connections for the career I now have as a freelance theatre designer. Max Johns, MA Performance Design Alumni
