Little did we know until today about the very existence of VARIOUS VOICES the most important LGBTQ+ choir festival in Europe that was founded some 35 years
It is a non-competition event that takes place every 4 years in a European city, chosen by the choirs who take part in Legato (European Association of LGBTQ+ Choirs). Their mission is to promote art, culture, and understanding between nations, staging choral singing events with participants from many European nations. They have a very impressive 151-member choirs with some 4,806 singers + 627 supporting singers who look to Legato for support and leadership.
Now June 14 – 18th there is an Edition of Various Voices hosting a celebration of LGBTQ+ choirs and musicians from Europe and all over the world, singing and performing in the beautiful ancient Bologna, UNESCO City of Music.
