​What is LEGATO Academy?
​​
LEGATO Academy is a unique event that brings together LGBTQ+ choirs from across Europe to learn, share, and connect. This year's Academy will be exploring the theme 'Building Communities'.
Across the weekend you can expect:
​
-
Workshops and discussions
-
Social activities and networking opportunities
-
Opportunities to sing and celebrate together
​​
Whether you’re a singer, musician, organiser, board member, or choir manager, everyone from our member choirs is warmly welcomed.
​
Need some convincing? Here’s some great feedback we’ve had from people who joined us for the Warsaw LEGATO Academy in March 2025!
“LEGATO Academy is an outstanding space for LGBTQ+ musicians, singers, and choir directors to develop their choral skills in music, teaching, and leadership—I couldn’t recommend it more!”
— LEGATO Academy 2025 delegate
“Before I went to the Academy, someone asked me why I was going. I had just recently joined my choir and wasn’t in any administrative role. After thinking about it, I realized my answer: I want my choir, and everyone in it, including myself, to thrive. LEGATO Academy gave me the inspiration, connections, and knowledge to help make that happen.”
