Marrakech Choral Meeting
Marrakech, Morocco
04 November - 08 November 2026
The festival "Marrakech Choral Meeting" is a meeting of choirs from all over the world to showcase their art, make their voices heard and share their culture with the various participants and the Moroccan public. This festival is an unprecedented opportunity to highlight Moroccan choirs and promote this art nationally and internationally.
After the successful, third edition in November 2025, we have the honor to invite your choir to the fourth edition of the “Marrakech Choral Meeting” to be held in the heart of the city of Marrakech in November 04 to 08, 2026.
Your choir is welcome to participate in this unique experience and the joy of singing in a beautiful city with a romantic and oriental atmosphere. You can be sure that during your stay in this magical city you will be treated with the utmost care and attention. Special attention will be paid to your safety - Morocco is one of the safest countries in Africa, you will not only see a new part of the world, but you will also make new friends and return home with lots of memories.
The festival is organized by “APF”, “Association du Patrimoine et du Folklore” of Marrakech, in cooperation with the Millennium Agency, which has been organizing choral meetings in Prague since the end of the 1990s.
