At a conference held at Bozar in November, Israeli researcher Yonatan Volfin presented a case study on our choir. This presentation is part of his in-depth research on the characteristics of LGBTQI+ choirs and their role in strengthening the sense of belonging.

It’s been a busy time for your favourite fabulous queer choir! Over the past months, we’ve been working hard on our new repertoire: during three (or actually four) performances spread across two weekends, you could finally enjoy the results.

What happens when a choir goes away for the weekend? Singing, singing and more singing? Bingo! But that’s not all. Sing Out’s annual weekend was an intense trip that brought the group closer together and prepared the choir for the first events of the season.

With Let Your Heart Be Heard, we invite you to sing for equality and inclusivity at the Various Voices Brussels 2026 festival.

At our annual General Assembly, the choir took stock of the past season and elected a new board of committed volunteers to lead us to Various Voices in June.

Our choir kicked off its eighth season with a studio recording and video shoot for the anthem of the Various Voices Brussels 2026 festival. It was an intense weekend that also served as a great team-building exercise for the singers who recently joined Sing Out!

It often comes as a surprise to people who discover how our choir operates: we have a strategic plan, which sounds very ‘corporate’. However, it is essential. Many associations encounter problems because their objectives are unclear or because their members do not share the same vision for the project.

At the invitation of Polish choir Voces Gaudii, we travelled to Warsaw to perform two concerts and take part in Pride. A highlight in one of Europe’s least progressive countries when it comes to LGBTQI+ rights.

Our choir took part in Brussels Pride on 17 May 2025. Singing on stage and in the parade, we echoed this year’s theme of unity and protecting our rights.

On 26 April, in our show Queeroes, we went in search of the heroic figures of our community… only to realise that each of us could be the hero of our own story.

The rehearsals for our show Queeroes were relocated to Hastière for two days. Each singer played a role in making this weekend a magical moment. Sometimes you don’t have to look far to find Queeroes!

To mark its 30th anniversary, the Ex Aequo association organised a major charity concert at La Madeleine. Sing Out Brussels! was one of the guest artists and had the honour of singing with Mustii!

On Sunday 17 November, the singers spent a day learning the latest songs and choreography for the show.

Our workshop weekend in Brussels really kicked off the season: new repertoire, choreography, discussion groups, quizzes… Two days that enabled the group to get up to speed for its next show Queeroes.

On September 19th, we opened the Feminist Days by vzw Amazone asbl, which explored gender in housing this year. Together we sang for visibility and diversity, values at the heart of inclusive housing.

This new season began with a happy event: the marriage of two of our members. Sing Out members were out in force. After all, our choir is first and foremost a community, in which love is present in all its forms.

At the Annual General Meeting, Sing Out members elected their new Board and gratefully acknowledged the departure of several key members. This handover demonstrates the deep attachment of the singers to our association.

Sing Out Brussels! recently travelled to Bristol, UK to take part in the UK & Ireland’s biennial LGBTQI+ choir festival, Hand in Hand, from 16 to 18 August 2024.

On Sunday 23 June, Sing Out Brussels! took part in an inspiring event organised by Bozar to mark ten years of bringing together choirs and other singers from all over the capital.

Inspired by Voces Gaudii’s performance at our recent concert, Various Voices Rising, Sing Out member Kit reflects on the idea of chosen family.
