The LGBTQIA choir movement and what all choirs can learn from it

Chair: Jeremy Haneman
Panel: Martin Brophy, Andrea Brown, Michael Betteridge and Jane Edwardson

From its origins in America fifty years ago, the LGBTQ+ choir movement has grown to have a worldwide reach and has remained at the forefront of political and social change. With over 50 LGBTQ+ choirs now running in the UK, this webinar will explore the history of this choir movement and consider issues of repertoire, performance, organisational structures, access and inclusion. Why are LGBTQ+ choirs so important and what can all choirs learn from them?
