LEGATO Academy
7 - 9 March 2025
Warsaw

The last few places are waiting for you at the LEGATO Academy in Warsaw, Poland’s vibrant Capital city, from 7-9 March 2025. To book your place, register and pay today.​

​

What is LEGATO Academy?

​

LEGATO Academy is a unique opportunity for LGBTQ+ choirs across Europe to come together to learn, share and connect through inspiring workshops, discussions and opportunities to socialise and build connections.

​

Whether you’re a singer, musician, organiser, board member, music Director or choir manager, LEGATO Academy welcomes everyone from our member choirs.

​

At last year's LEGATO Academy in Brussels, choir members from across Europe learned skills in choir management, diversity and inclusion strategies, conducting techniques and musical direction. More than that, we also bonded, shared experiences, and realised that we are stronger together.

​

We hope to see you there.

​

“a great opportunity to meet other musical directors and choir managers and discuss, exchange views, and share experiences within an inclusive and vibrant environment.”
