From 6-10 July 2025, the second edition of Leading Voices brought more than 800 people to Tallinn from 38 countries. The event began with the main concert of the Estonian Song Celebration. In the programme of Leading Voices there were 55 sessions by 40 session leaders, 128 individual lessons on conducting and singing, and 10 concerts. The main venue of the event was the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre.
Hundreds of conductors, vocal leaders, composers, managers and music educators from all over Europe and beyond visited Tallinn for an exchange of knowledge and sharing of experience.
The participants were inspired in workshops and lectures and experimented with new ways of improvisation, collaboration and co-creation in LAB’s. New music was composed and new ways of designing and presenting concerts were developed. Informal lounges and numerous round table discussions provided opportunities for networking and sharing of views on a variety of topics.
Leading Voices, an event of the European Choral Association, was organised in cooperation with the Estonian Choral Association and the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre.
