KVINNOKÖREN SAPPHONIA STOCKHOLM SWEDEN Type: SSAA Members: 40 Founded: 1984 ABOUT Kvinnokören Sapphonia har funnits sedan 1984 och hette från början Kvinnohuskören. Den leds av Frida Andréasson. ​ Kören är en obunden förening hemmahörande i Stockholm. Just nu är vi cirka 35 medlemmar uppdelade på de fyra stämmorna. ​ Körens ändamål är att genom körsång och konserter utvecklas musikaliskt och synliggöra lesbisk kultur och musik. Repertoaren är blandad och består av såväl klassiskt som modernt material. Vår körledare bidrar med egna körarrangemang. ​ Vi samarbetar ofta med andra körer, främst Stockholms Gaykör. ​ Vanligtvis ger vi en konsert på våren, och under Pride-veckan deltar vi i Kärlekens mässa. Det har blivit en kär tradition att hålla julkonsert varje år i december tillsammans med Stockholms Gaykör. ​ Kören har uppträtt på körfestivaler i London, Berlin och Kiel. Vi har satt upp en egen kabaré och sjungit på ett flertal olika platser som t ex Oslo, Köpenhamn och Göteborg. 1992 tilldelades kören Gay-bokhandeln Rosa Rummets Kulturpris. ​ I februari 2012 medverkade kören på QX Gaygala, som även sändes i TV4. Vi har sjungit in våren på Rix FM (TV3) och i "Jenny Strömstedt" i TV4. ​ Kören har under 2014 uppträtt på Vänsterpartiets kongress och Gudrun Sjödéns 8-marsfirande.

May 15 - 18, 1991 6TH FESTIVAL 1991"STARKE TÖNE VOM ANDEREN UFER" HAMBURG 17 Choirs from 5 Countries SCHOLA CANTAROSA Weeks (in fact months) of hard labor have gone by and there's still some work ahead of the amateur organizers that we are. It didn't always work the way we'd planned it to but we gave our best and now are looking forward to you and the celebration we are going to have together. Due to the fact that there are so many more new choirs, this festival is going to be bigger than was to be expected; but naturally we're glad about that. The festival's capability of living has been questioned by some lately. Yet, we feel it must not die. Besides being an exciting and colorful gay event it is also a formidable stage from which to claim our rights. It gives us the opportunity to meet one another, to communicate, share. Of course it is also a place to show off our famed qualities, may they be distributed in earnest or in dripping self-irony. Lets show them we're there. Lets show them we're colorful, playful, powerful. "Let's sound our barbaric yawp over the roof of the world" as Walt Whitman would say. The "Schola Cantorosa" welcomes you all and hopes for you to have a good time. ​ Hamburg is yours for four days. Take it. 4 STEPS DER "SCHWULE MANNERCHOR KIEL" DIE MAINSIRENEN DIE SCHRILLMÄNNER EQUIVOX FLIEDERTAFEL GAYNGELS HOMOPHON MÄNNER-MINNE MERRY-O-NETS PINK SINGERS ROSACAVALIERE SCHMAZ!

5 Tips to Get a Shoutout on Instagram Want to know how top Instagram users are attracting thousands of followers? Then you'll want to know all about how Instagram shoutouts work. If you're willing to learn how to master this insane follower-building trend, you could have a very popular account as little as a few weeks or months. What Are Instagram Shoutouts? ​ An Instagram shoutout is just what it sounds like. It's basically a public plug or endorsement you can get from another user. ​ Here's how shoutouts work: Consider two different Instagram users who are trying to build their followers. The two users will agree to give each other a shoutout post on their accounts by posting a photo or a video and instructing their own followers to go ahead and follow the other account. Shoutout posts often involve photos or videos from the account they're shouting out. This is one of the fastest and most effective ways to build followers on Instagram. Unfortunately, getting a great shoutout is not as easy as it sounds. It requires networking with others and a sometimes a willingness to feature other users' content on your own account as part of the shoutout or s4s agreement. If you want to get a shoutout that gets the best results (a.k.a. lots more followers), there are a few things you should know first. Use the following five tips to guide you in your first quest to getting a great Instagram shoutout. 01) Find Other Instagram Users With Content Similar to Yours ​ If you post a lot of photos of food and healthy recipes on Instagram, chances are you won't have much luck if you target a user for a shoutout partnership who mainly posts about sports. Even if that user did agree to a shoutout, you probably wouldn't get many followers out of it, because that user's followers want to see sports content — not food content. Your best bet is to find other users who share similar interests with you based on their content. because their followers are the ones who will notice your stuff and decide to follow you. 02 ) Find Other Instagram Users Who Have a Similar Number of Followers As You ​ Some users include short blurbs in their Instagram bios to inform followers that they're open to doing shoutouts. But if that user has 100K+ followers and you've only got 50, don't even bother contacting them. Most of the time, users will only agree to a shoutout if the both of you have a similar amount of followers. It's only fair. Once you work your way up to at least one thousand followers, it gets a lot easier to do shoutouts with other users who are interested in growing their followers. 03) Like, Comment or Follow Other Users Profiles Before Asking for a Shoutout ​ Manners go a long away on social media — especially on a platform like Instagram where everyone wants instant gratification. It's only polite to engage with the users who you want to ask for a shoutout and it shows that you're interested in their content. Try giving their photos or videos a few likes, comment on them and even follow them to let them know you're serious. Remember that social media — including Instagram — is all about engagement. A little social media interaction can go a long way, and it's the simplest way to network with others online. 04) Avoid Spamming Other Instagram Users with Comments on Their Posts Some users get a little too eager about finding people to ask for a shoutout, so they end up spamming tons of photos with comments that say "s4s?" or something generic about how great their content/profile is, without even looking at the account's full Instagram profile or engaging with them first. That's not the way to do it. Don't spam users just to get noticed. You should always find targeted users with similar content and followers, and then start out by engaging a little with them first. ​ 05) Contact Other Instagram Users via Email or Instagram Direct ​ You've now done the research by looking for Instagram users who post content similar to what you post and have around the same amount of followers as you. You've resisted the temptation to ask for a "s4s" by leaving a random comment on a post, and instead took the time to engage and interact — leaving genuine non-spammy comments. Now you can directly contact the user to ask them if they'd be interested in a shoutout. First, look for an email button (if their profile is a business account) or an email address typed in their bio. If none is listed, try reaching them instead through an Instagram Direct private message. When you message another user, make it personable. Commenting on something specific about their profile or content will let them know that you're not just another spammer. Reminder: Focus on Making Real Connections with Other Instagram Users

MÉLO'MEN PARIS FRANCE Type: TTBB Founded: 1994 # Wonderful Supporting members 10 # Wonderful members 51 ABOUT Comprising 70 men representing 8 different nationalities, Melo'Men was created in Paris in 1994. John Dawkins, Musical and Artistic Director since 1996, composes music for the choir on a regular basis. ​ Classical music - both secular and sacred - from the 19th and 20th centuries accounts for about half of the choir's repertoire. The rest of the repertoire is divided between French and International folk music, Holiday music, Showtunes, and a few Gospels. ​ Mélo'Men was organizer of the Various Voices Paris edition in 2005. ​ Mélo'Men est un chœur d'hommes amateur. Il rassemble une cinquantaine de chanteurs gays ou gay friendly. Fondé en 1994 sous le nom de Chœur International Gai de Paris (CIGAP), il a adopté sa dénomination actuelle en 1996. Si le répertoire privilégie le classique, il réserve aussi une place de choix à la variété. Saison après saison, le chœur a su, par la qualité de son travail artistique, gagner la reconnaissance du public. En témoigne la présence de Mélo'Men sur de nombreuses scènes françaises et internationales. Fidèle depuis ses débuts à une éthique d'engagement, Mélo'Men s'associe régulièrement à des actions de solidarité et à des cérémonies commémoratives. Le répertoire est constitué pour moitié d'œuvres classiques, profanes et sacrées, où prévalent les compositeurs des XIXe et XXe siècles. L'autre moitié est constituée de variétés, françaises et internationales, de noëls et de quelques gospels. Le chœur chante en français, anglais, allemand, italien, espagnol, catalan, portugais, latin, grec, russe, letton, hongrois, suédois, norvégien, japonais et divers dialectes du monde. En France, le chœur effectue la plupart de ses prestations à Paris. Les scènes visitées vont de salles modestes à des lieux mythiques tels l'Olympia, Bercy, le Lido... À l'étranger, Mélo'Men se produit à l'occasion de festivals internationaux ou sur invitation d'un chœur local. Là encore, les opportunités prestigieuses n'ont pas manqué : Carnegie Hall (New York), Queen Elizabeth Hall (Londres), Tonhalle (Zürich)... n/a WEBSITE INSTAGRAM TWITTER FACEBOOK 2002 Manage your Choir information ​ Now you can change, add or remove the information about your choir Want to change your profile picture? ​Change the description of your choir?

This biannual celebration is a chance for singers from all corners of the UK and Ireland to unite in their love for music and their pride in being part of the LGBTQ+ community. The festival offers a fun and welcoming environment where performers can come together, share their music, and form lasting connections. From its humble beginnings in 2013, Hand in Hand Festival has become a must-attend event for LGBTQ+ choirs and music lovers alike. With hundreds of singers coming together to celebrate their shared passion for music, this festival truly embodies the spirit of community. So come and join us at Hand in Hand Festival and be a part of this amazing celebration of music and diversity! Prepare to be dazzled as Hand in Hand Festival comes to Bristol in 2024 for an extended weekend of singing, workshops, sightseeing, friendship and networking. Delegates and guests from all over the UK and beyond will flock to Bristol to be part of this unforgettable event. BRISTOL UK HAND IN HAND FESTIVAL BRISTOL 2024

CORO CANONE INVERSO PADOVA ITALY Type: SATB Founded: 2013 # Wonderful Supporting members 10 # Wonderful members 37 ABOUT We are a male/female chorus open to everyone, with a mostly contemporary pop repertoire. The chorus is made of LGBT and heterosexual people, without discrimination of sexual orientation and gender identity. We sing together to share culture, rights and equality. The group was founded in the spring of 2013 in Padua as a project within the Circolo Arcigay Tralaltro, but soon the success and the need for organizational autonomy led Canone Inverso to constitute an Association in January 2014. Our name “Canone Inverso” (“reverse canon”) refers to a particular contrapuntal structure, in which the same melody, played simultaneously from beginning to end and from end to beginning, harmonizes and produces a more interesting composition that draws its wealth and complexity from its very structure. From this concept comes a parallel that, starting from the very name of our chorus, pays tribute to the people in their multiple facets and relationships, thus assuming in this context a more enticing – and at the same time provocative – meaning. Group dynamics Being a chorus means for us becoming a group that recognizes the reciprocal value of each member, respecting each other, honoring our project and working together for a common purpose. Spreading musical culture The chorus members are coordinated by the musical director but the proposals and the views of everyone are taken into account, because music is high expression of culture and creativity in all its forms and genres and it can be considered a patrimony belonging to each of us. mostly rock/pop/musicals, some classical WEBSITE INSTAGRAM TWITTER FACEBOOK 2016 Manage your Choir information ​ Now you can change, add or remove the information about your choir Want to change your profile picture? ​Change the description of your choir?

DER GEMISCHTER SAARBRÜCKER HERRENCHOR SAARBRÜCKEN GERMANY Type: TTBB Founded: 2001 # Wonderful Supporting members 0 # Wonderful members 18 ABOUT Der Gemischte Saarbrücker Herrenchor startete im Juni 2001 als Projekt des Lesben- und Schwulenverbandes Saarland e.V.. ​ Wie der Name schon sagt, sind wir kein „üblicher” Männerchor und auch kein „reiner” Schwulenchor, sondern leben schon lange das, was anderen noch ein Ziel ist: ein spannendes und doch unbeschwertes Miteinander, das jedem einzelnen Mann genügend Freiraum für seine persönliche Entfaltung lässt. ​ Möglich wird das erst durch die extrem belastbaren Nerven und die Engelsgeduld unserer Chorleiterin Amei Scheib, die aus rund 30 künstlerischen Individuen einen veritablen Chor formt. Unter ihrer künstlerischen Leitung treffen sich Männer jeglicher Couleur, die alle eines gemeinsam haben: ​ Spaß an staubfreiem Chorgesang und Freude an musikalischen Entdeckungsreisen. ​ Diese Entdeckungsreisen führen uns durch unterschiedliche Zeitepochen bis zurück ins Mittelalter und machen regional, wie auch geografisch vor keiner Grenze halt – ebenso gehören Stippvisiten ins Reich der Popmusik dazu. n/a WEBSITE INSTAGRAM TWITTER FACEBOOK 2012 Manage your Choir information ​ Now you can change, add or remove the information about your choir Want to change your profile picture? ​Change the description of your choir?
