Need some convincing? Here’s some great feedback we’ve had from people who joined us for previous LEGATO Academies:

“Legato Academy made me feel connected and empowered. It was incredibly uplifting to meet so many so very talented people, the connections made were invaluable. I left feeling like I had found a new sense of belonging and purpose”

— LEGATO Academy 2026 delegate

“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.”
