More than 128 member choirs from 21 countries with approximately 4120 singers look to us for support and leadership.
We promote art and culture, particularly to promote choral singing.
We maintain an up to date list of LGBTQ+ Choirs in Europe and publish events being run by these Choirs locally, and encourages people to go and support the events.
We connect new LGBTQ+ Choirs with more experienced ones so that they can avoid some of the pitfalls of starting a new Choir.
We promote understanding between nations, particularly by staging events with participants from many European nations.
We are actively supporting the development of LGBTQ+ CHoirs in Eastern Europe, where in many countries to be LGBTQ+ is considered a crime and people are persecuted.
