Legato meeting 2011 in Dublin

in June this year, the delegates at the meeting in Dublin were informed about the preparations for the next Various Voices Festival 2014. We were excited about the opportunities presented by the organising Dublin team at the university campus for the choral event. In addition, Mary Fyfe, Dominik Jakob and Martin Gerrits were confirmed as board-members for another two years. Furthermore, the delegates were welcomed by the Deputy Lord Mayor of Dublin to a reception at her residence and invited to a wonderful dinner. The evening was crowned by an extraordinary concert of the host choir GLÓRIA at the National Concert Hall, followed by a party. We thank GLÓRIA again for hosting this meeting.

The next meeting 2012

of all the Legato choral delegates will be held on Saturday 31 March 2012 in Cologne. Please save the date. The invitation will be sent out late January 2012.

Dear friends in Europe,

this is the newsletter of LEGATO for our choir members:


(1) NEW MEMBERS

We are very happy to announce our new members:
Unfortunately the "Berliner Heartchor" from Germany broke up and closed its membership this year.


(2) DONATION

The team from Various Voices Berlin 2001 fixed their accounts an made an extraordinary donation to LEGATO about 10.000,00 Euros. Legato signed an agreement to use the donation only for supporting the organisers of further european Various Voices Festivals. The money is given form Legato as a flat loan to the organisers in an early state but has to pay back in the time when the first participant fees are collected. We appreciate the "Team Berlin" for this great help.


(3) VARIOUS VOICES 2013

Unfortunately till now there is no application for hosting the next festival. Team London is happy to help with any information and knowledge support.
