 **Thorgy Thor and the Thorchestra**
 **Jan. 17 and 18 at 7:30pm**
 **Knight Theater**

This evening at the symphony will be a total drag… in the best way possible! [**Thorgy Thor**](https://www.instagram.com/thorgythor/?hl=en), of RuPaul’s Drag Race fame, will be turning the **Charlotte Symphony** into the **Thorchestra** this weekend for two fun, thoughtful, and fabulous performances. This is Thorgy’s second concert with an orchestra in the US, just after her performances with the Pittsburgh Symphony last summer. She’s a classically trained musician, skilled at the violin, viola, and cello.

You’ll hear music from all of the great classical composers you’d expect, such as Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga! The “Queen of Classical Music” is bringing her theatrics to the Queen City and trust us, you don’t want to miss the shenanigans.
