Open Arts Community Choir @ 2021 World Choir Games

A project by Open Arts

Open Arts Community Choir @ 2021 World Choir Games

We will travel to Flanders, Belgium, for 5 days in July 2021 to compete against some of the world's most successful choirs in the 2021 World Choir Games. Monies raised will go towards accessible transport & accommodation, support workers & personal assistance costs, and hire of access equipment in Belgium.

Why they need our service

We are currently core-funded by the Arts Council of NI and Belfast City Council. However, these funds do not cover the costs of touring; costs which are significantly higher than those of most other choirs, due to our disability expenses (accessible transport, accessible accommodation, support workers and personal assistance costs, hire of access equipment etc).

Plan and expected results

When we competed in the 2017 European Choir Games in Riga, we returned with 2 gold medals and a gold diploma - we hope to bring some more gold home from the 2021 World Choir Games in Flanders, whilst being positive ambassadors for Northern Ireland and spreading our message of diversity and inclusion to the rest of the world!
