Queer Music: John Grant Brings His Voice to Ballet | Plus Oliver Zeffman on Classical Pride
In this episode of the BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Podcast, host Graeme Smith meets two artists amplifying queer expression through powerful musical work — on stage, in the concert hall, and beyond.First up: acclaimed singer-songwriter John Grant, known for his genre-spanning solo career and collaborations with legends like Elton John and Kylie Minogue. John talks about lending his unmistakable voice to A Single Man, a new ballet based on the Christopher Isherwood novel, premiering as part of the Manchester International Festival in Manchester, UK. It’s a bold step into the world of dance — bringing his lyrical intensity to a story of grief, identity, and queer love.Then: conductor Oliver Zeffman, the founder of Classical Pride, a landmark celebration of LGBTQ+ voices in classical music. From stages across the UK to its debut at the Hollywood Bowl, Classical Pride is reshaping who gets to take centre stage — and what pride sounds like in the concert hall.Brought to you by BOYS! BOYS!

This week it's strong black coffees all round at the BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! gallery in London's Fitzrovia, recording another live gallery episode of The BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Breakfast Club going through the latest happenings in the world of art and queer culture.Host Graeme Smith and editorial director Ghislain Pascal are joined by two standout voices in queer art and publishing: Michele Robecchi, Commissioning Editor at Phaidon, and Argentinian-born NYC-based photographer Sebastian Perinotti, whose latest series The Mirror appears in the brand-new Volume 10 of our magazine.Together, we explore how queer artists are positioned within the publishing world — and whether it’s time to move past the labels entirely. Michele shares what really gets a book on the shelf, while Sebastian reflects on Latinx visibility in the art world and how lockdown, identity and cultural politics have shaped his work.As Pride Month unfolds, we ask what the point is this year with corporate sponsors heading for the exits.We also look at the very public fallout between Musk and Trump — and what their clash of power and ego could mean for queer people, here and around the globe.Grab yourself a coffee.
