European Choral Association

European Choral Association created the Benefits Of Singing, an online campaign aimed to showcase the different benefits collective singing has for individuals and the society, and people across Europe and beyond be reminded of / be encouraged to experience them through collective singing. Nowadays, it is needed to intentionally act together – organisations, choirs and individuals, as representatives from all over Europe and beyond and unify the voices and bring choral music in the attention of various communities, as well as on the agendas of the decision-making bodies, both at a national and European level. The Benefits Of Singing campaign was organised in the frame of the ‘Upgrade, Connect, Reach Out project’, co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.

Singing Europe is a European Pilot Study on the topic of collective singing (groups of people singing together, such as choirs, vocal ensembles, a cappella groups, etc.). It was organised in the frame of “VOICE, Vision on Innovation for Choral Music in Europe” a European Cooperation Project involving 15 partners in 11 countries, funded by the EU Culture Programme.
