Eurovox 2020 - cancelled

Following the recent advice issued by the UK Government and Public Health England in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, AOTOS has had little realistic option other than to cancel Eurovox 2020 in Edinburgh. Without knowing how long this crisis will last, it is impossible to remain certain about any dates at the moment.

We are ALL very disappointed after years of planning and hard work but the protection and well-being of delegates and presenters is the number one concern. AOTOS and EVTA are immensely proud of the conference we had planned with such an amazing global team behind it, even though we will not see it come to fruition. All conference fees and tickets will be refunded over the next few weeks.

COVID-19 risk assessment for voice teachers and coaches »

We are putting this important paper on our website that had been translated from German to English with the help of Prof. Marilyn Schmiege of BDG and Scott Swope in the USA. It is not an encouraging document to quickly start individual lessons or choral rehearsals again. Plexi screens between teacher and student might be a necessity in the first start-up period. It is all the more reason to ask for support for all financially affected artists.

Music sector joins together to call for EU and national investment to address current crisis and promote diversity. Music is one of the first sectors hit by the unprecedented COVID-19 crisis.

In light of this dire situation, we call for emergency as well as sustainable public support and structural policies at EU, national, regional and local level to consolidate the music ecosystem, and help it thrive again in all its diversity.
