Until this year, only one gold award has ever been given out and that was in Manchester in 2017! In 2024, however, it will finally be joined by other legends of our choral family. We salute your commitment! #briankennedy #awards #lgbtq #choral #community #gold

The silver award is very special because it honours 20 years of commitment to Proud Voices UK & Ireland choral activism, and to our shared festival.

It is often hard to know where to start though, and all too easy to make mistakes. Proud Voices would like to help foster these kinds of connections across geographies, sharing our experiences to enable equitable, resilent and long-lasting partnerships between choirs and regions.

Connections like this can also lead to joint musical or LGBT-activism related projects, access to funding streams and rich choral exchanges. Best of all, making new friends is always fun!

International choral connections are a great way of understanding what choirs and queerness mean in different cultural contexts, broadening and deepening our definitions of group singing and non-normative identities.
