With Let Your Heart Be Heard, we invite you to sing for equality and inclusivity at the Various Voices Brussels 2026 festival.
Sing for LGBTQI+ rights!
In June 2026, Brussels will become the beating heart of the European LGBTQI+ choral world. During the Various Voices Brussels 2026 festival (24–28 June), the city will vibrate with music, colour and solidarity. And you can sing along with us!
An anthem for an inclusive society
The festival’s official song, Let Your Heart Be Heard, is now available on all music platforms, accompanied by a video clip. This powerful song invites everyone to make their voice – and their heart – heard for a society that is open to all, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. From the heart of Europe, a message of love, solidarity and hope resounds.
A choir of 4,000 voices
The highlight of the festival will be the spectacular show Let Your Heart Be Heard on Saturday 27 June 2026 at the ING Arena (Heysel). More than 4,000 singers from 120 choirs and 19 countries will come together to form the largest choir ever heard in Brussels. Belgian artists will also be joining the line-up for an evening full of energy, pride and emotion.
Sing with us!
Anyone who loves to sing and shares the values of inclusion and solidarity is welcome to participate in this unique project.
You can register via www.various-voices.be.
Those who register will receive:
- the sheet music and recordings to learn the song
- access to three group rehearsals at Bozar (19 April, 10 May and 7 June 2026),
- and of course a ticket to attend the big show on 27 June.
Make your voice heard. Let your heart speak. Sing with thousands of others for a warm and inclusive world!
About the partners
The organising LGBTQI+ vocal group Sing Out Brussels! is proud to host this international festival in our capital city. Brussels is known for being an open and diverse city, and that is what we want to highlight with this project. We hope that singers from all over Belgium will be tempted to participate and make their voices heard.
Bozar is enthusiastic to be part of this initiative that celebrates music, freedom and openness. Bozar is delighted that the project will take place in and around the Centre for Fine Arts. The objectives of Various Voices, a project that aims to promote diversity and inclusion through music, are closely aligned with our own mission and vision. Various Voices is a project that promotes values such as empathy and tolerance in a committed way through singing together. We look forward to welcoming the many singers of Various Voices to Bozar.
At Koor&Stem, we believe in the unifying power of collective singing. Various Voices offers a unique stage where choirs from all over Europe can meet, get to know each other and celebrate the power of diversity together. By singing together, we give voice to what really matters: dialogue, respect and solidarity.
Patrick Bontinck, CEO of visit.brussels: “We are proud to support a project that combines diversity, hospitality and international reach. Various Voices Brussels 2026 reflects Brussels, an open, creative and inclusive capital. This international event confirms Brussels’ reputation as a destination of choice for LGBTQIA+ tourism. It’s a wonderful way to showcase Brussels’ cultural richness through choral singing.”
