Komos
Komos is one of the first rainbow choirs and it is based on a TTBB ensemble. We celebrate diversity and civil rights through music, from traditional to pop songs. We raise our voices, our different bodies and identities to stand up for visibility and pride.
Komos was founded in Bologna in 2008. We promoted the Italian festival Cromatica in 2015 and 2025, and we organized the Italian past edition of Various Voices in 2023. We’ve been growing from a small community into a wider ensemble, moving from local to both national and international scenes. We offer concerts, workshops and activities for theatres, schools and public spaces, in partnership with the City of Bologna to promote LGBTQIA+ rights. Our favourite story is when a rehearsal became an improvised street concert where people joined us to sing together. That was the proof of how powerful and contagious our music can get to create connections and celebrate.
Various Voices Brussels 2026 is a great opportunity to connect with European LGBTQIA+ communities and the best chance to share music coupled with commitment. Bringing Bologna’s voice to an international stage, will enrich Komos with new collaborations, undoubted artistic growth and an inspiring human experience.
