Barcelona is one of Europe’s most vibrant and inspiring cities, known for its Mediterranean atmosphere, rich culture, striking architecture, museums, music and unforgettable city life. From the famous works of Gaudí to the historic Gothic Quarter and lively streets, Barcelona offers a wonderful setting for choirs to perform, explore and connect.
The We Are Singing Barcelona Festival is a non-competitive international choral festival, giving choirs the opportunity to share their music in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The festival offers a memorable choral experience through concert performances in beautiful venues, including a spectacular church and concert hall setting.
This festival is ideal for choirs looking for a relaxed international performance opportunity rather than a competition, while also enjoying the culture, history and warmth of one of Spain’s most exciting cities.
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, allowing you to focus on what matters most — the singing.
