LGBTQ Classical Music ComposersLGBTQ classical music composers have spanned the generations. They include the early Baroque composers of Europe (such as Jean-Baptiste Lully), impressionist classicists (such as Maurice Ravel), mid-nineteen century modernists (such as Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, and Benjamin Britten), and contemporary composers (such as Stephen Hough, Jennifer Higdon, and Gareth Farr). This group of LGBTQ composers has also been active in composing works for many artistic forms. These include ballet, opera, piano, string instruments, and full orchestral movements. Many have had their work generously recognized with awards, such as Pulitzer Prizes, Grammy Awards, and significant national honours.
