ROSACAVALIERE E.V. BERLIN GERMANY Type: TTBB Founded: 1990 # Wonderful Supporting members 0 # Wonderful members 15 ABOUT Welcome to the RosaCavalieren We stand next to Lili in front of the barracks and accompany Major Tom into space. With Schubert and Bruckner we get the romance in the present. We sing for a dear audience and the one and the other worshipers In garters and tracksuits in rows of three and swimwear. Of course always a cappella. ​ Founded in 1990 as a gay men's chorus in Berlin, our ensemble consists RosaCavalieren today from about two dozen. Hits of the 20's and 30's were in the early years of our musical focus. Today the repertoire of Gregorian chants and song cycles of romance about rock and pop songs is enough to jazz interpretations, musicals, and popular songs. ​ We routinely prepare a new evening program in the form of a musical revue. We collaborate with different musicians. Together we develop arrangements that are tailored to us. They form the basis for a unique show. ​ Our program is pleasurable, our commitment politically. As naturally occurring gay group we designed for years with events commemorating the liberation of the concentration camp Sachsenhausen. In the extermination camps of the Third Reich and gay men were imprisoned, tortured and murdered. We also help people with HIV / AIDS with benefit concerts and participate in worship services in church PositiHIV in Berlin -Wilmersdorf. We heard from the Christopher Street Day and work with parties and civil rights movements together. Baby, we were born this way! ​ Willkommen bei den RosaCavalieren. ​ ​ Wir stehen neben Lili vor der Kaserne und begleiten Major Tom ins All. Mit Schubert und Bruckner holen wir die Romantik in die Gegenwart. Wir singen für ein verehrtes Publikum und den einen und anderen Verehrer. In Strapsen und Trainingsanzügen, in Dreireihern und Badehosen. Natürlich immer a cappella. ​ 1990 als schwuler Männerchor in Berlin gegründet, besteht unser Ensemble heute aus rund zwei Dutzend RosaCavalieren. Schlager der 20er und 30er Jahre bildeten in den Anfangsjahren unseren musikalischen Schwerpunkt. Heute reicht das Repertoire von Gregorianischen Chorälen und Liederzyklen der Romantik über Rock- und Popsongs bis hin zu Jazzinterpretationen, Musicals und Schlagern. ​ Wir erarbeiten regelmäßig ein neues abendfüllendes Programm in Form einer musikalischen Revue. Dabei arbeiten wir mit unterschiedlichen Musikern zusammen. Gemeinsam entwickeln wir Arrangements, die genau auf uns abgestimmt sind. Sie bilden die Basis für eine einzigartige Show. ​ Unser Programm ist lustvoll, unser Engagement politisch. Als selbstverständlich schwul auftretende Gruppe gestalteten wir seit Jahren Veranstaltungen zum Gedenken an die Befreiung des KZ Sachsenhausen mit. In dem Vernichtungslager wurden im dritten Reich auch schwule Männer inhaftiert, gefoltert und ermordet. Darüber hinaus unterstützen wir Menschen mit HIV/AIDS mit Benefiz-Konzerten und beteiligen uns an Gottesdiensten in der Kirche PositiHIV in Berlin-Wilmersdorf. Wir treten am Christopher-Street-Day auf und arbeiten mit Parteien und Bürgerrechtsbewegungen zusammen.

DIE KESSEN BERLINESSEN BERLIN GERMANY Type: SSAA Founded: 2006 # Wonderful Supporting members 0 # Wonderful members 22 ABOUT Im März 2006 gründeten sieben singbegeisterte, frauenliebende Frauen aus Berlin unter der Leitung von Barbarella Olm einen Chor, der geprägt sein sollte von der Lust am Singen und dem Spaß an der Gemeinschaft im Chor und an gemeinsamen Auftritten. Inzwischen sind wir 20 Frauen gemischten Alters, die über das Lesbenleben mit seinen schönen, skurrilen und auch schattigen Seiten singen und damit auf die Bühne gehen. Wir singen eine bunte Mischung von Liedern aus den 20er Jahren bis zu modernem Pop. Oft dichten wir Lieder um, um (nicht ohne Selbstironie) lesbische Lebensweisen aufs Korn zu nehmen. Wir singen drei- bis vierstimmige Chorsätze, die von Barbarella arrangiert werden, a-capella und manchmal mit Klavier- oder anderer Instrumentalbegleitung. only rock/pop/musicals 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?

LIEDERLICHE LESBEN E.V. FRANKFURT GERMANY Type: SSAA Founded: 1993 # Wonderful Supporting members 3 # Wonderful members 23 ABOUT A handful of lesbians who met to sing together in 1993 grew, in time, into a choir known for including theatrical scenes into their performances. Between 1999 and 2019 the choir wrote, produced, and starred in six plays, filled with songs and witty dialogue. Our repertoire spans across many genres, including Classic, pop, German and international songs. As each song serves a story telling function in our plays, we often rewrite the texts completely, giving well-known songs surprising twists. We are also interested in keeping our plays topical and relevant, tackling themes all across the lesbian and queer experience. Our choir members take creative charge on many levels: story writing, writing song lyrics and dialogue for scenes, building props and taking care of costuming. We may not always see eye to eye with each other, but we’re always able to entertain crowds with unexpected, funny and heartwarming performances. equally mixed classic/rock/pop/musicals WEBSITE INSTAGRAM TWITTER FACEBOOK 1997 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 includes not only avoiding potential and actual conflicts of interest but also any public or internal perceptions of conflicts of interest.

Each Board member therefore is required to make a full disclosure of interests, relationships, and holdings that could potentially or perceptually result in a conflict of interest. In the course of Board meetings or LEGATO activities, you will disclose any interests in any transaction or decision where you (including your business or other non-profit / charity affiliations), your family and/or personal partner, spouse, employer, or close associates will receive a benefit or gain.

I further understand that as part of an ongoing review of the commitment, practice, and workload of each Board Member, I will be asked to review this document and my past year as a Board Member at an Annual Board Member Appraisal Meeting with the Chair/President (or in the case of the Chair/President being appraised, with the Vice Chair/President), at which any issues that have arisen in the previous year concerning the role and responsibility of a Board Member as outlined in this document can be discussed.
