Do you have a strong love for choral singing? Then, don't miss the "WORLD OF CHOIRS," an international choir competition held in Italy. It's a special chance to demonstrate your abilities, pick up tips from other accomplished choirs, and discover the beauty of Italy!
The International choir contest in Italy “WORLD OF CHOIRS”, is a global event that aims to promote, popularise, and develop choral singing. This choir competion is run by Fiestalonia, one of the biggest choir competion organisers in Spain. The International choral singing competition World of Choirs brings together choirs from all over the world on one stage within the framework of the contest, in a warm and friendly atmosphere, so that they can demonstrate not only their skills but also the culture and uniqueness of choral singing.
This would be such a great opportunity for our Irish choirs. The International Choir Competition World of Choirs invites not only experienced choirs but also those for whom taking part in such a major competition will be a novel experience and inspiration for the growth of their abilities.
Choir Contact Ireland can help you plan an unforgettable choral trip for your choir. We take care of the planning, logistical arrangements, dealing with the ground operators and organisers, from start to finish, so you can focus on what matters most — the singing.
