Renowned advocate/composers David Del Tredici and John Corigliano will be performing pieces inspired by American revolutionaries and the Stonewall uprising at the American Music Festival in Troy. Ring in Pride with the heavenly sounds of the symphony at Sing Out, New York, taking place over two weekends. See what’s coming up and make plans to stick around because there’s too much joy to contain in just a day or a week. Of course, everything is open to locals, travelers, friends, partners, families-all are welcome. Events will take place all throughout the month of June and continue into July, both in the city and around New York State. The epicenter of the anniversary festivities will be right here in New York State, and it's the first WorldPride in the United States.
While every Pride is meaningful and special, this year’s is a particularly big deal: 2019 marks the 50-year anniversary of the historic Stonewall Riots, when the LGBTQ community rose up in protest against police raids at the Stonewall Inn in New York City's West Village.
