Founded in 2022, the International Pride Orchestra is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that brings together LGBTQIA+ musicians from around the world to present concerts, celebrate community, and raise funds for LGBTQIA+ causes.

​​

The International Pride Orchestra unites music making with global advocacy. We are a volunteer orchestra with a charitable mission to raise awareness and funds for local, national, and international LGBTQIA+ programs. Each year, a new city will be selected to host an IPO concert. Each concert partners with an LGBTQIA+ organization to provide an outlet for patrons and musicians to give. 

​

The International Pride Orchestra made its debut on Thursday, June 22, 2023 in San Francisco—the heart of the gay rights movement. IPO proudly partnered with legendary drag performer Peaches Christ and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to raise funds to support LYRIC—one of the first and largest LGBTQQ youth centers in the United States. In 2024, IPO came together again in New York City with Peaches Christ and Thorgy Thor to raise funds and awareness for SAGE, the country’s first and largest organization dedicated to improving the lives of LGBTQIA+ elders.
