✨ Introducing... Training Leading Voices

Dear <<First Name>>,

You have surely heard about Leading Voices, a new major European event for vocal and choral leaders taking place 27-31 July 2022 in Utrecht…

But have you heard about the Training Leading Voices project?

Leading Voices is at the heart of the Training Leading Voices project, but there is even more!

Training Leading Voices is focused on the professionalisation of vocal and choral leaders in Europe and the internationalisation of their careers through events in France, Italy, Slovenia and the Netherlands from 2020 to 2022!

Training Leading Voices also seeks to inspire others to organise their own events for vocal and choral leaders - and we have awarded bursaries to organisations across Europe to do just this! Read on to find out more…

Who is behind Training Leading Voices?

ZIMIHC leads the Training Leading Voices project, joined by partners:

Are you ready? There’s a lot to get involved with in the Training Leading Voices project!

Oh, have you met Loebi?

Loebi joined the organising team at Leading Voices all the way from Ljubljana, Slovenia, where he waved goodbye to his friends at Europa Cantat and went on his next big adventure!

But what’s this? It seems that Loebi has fallen for a Dutch girl…
Follow Leading Voices on Facebook to see Miffy and Loebi's relationship blossom!
