We are Singing Ljubljana Festival

Ljubljana, Slovenia

15 October - 18 October 2026

21 October - 24 October 2027

 

Ljubljana, Slovenia's charming capital city, is one of Europe's hidden cultural gems. Known for its beautiful riverside setting, historic architecture, vibrant café culture and welcoming atmosphere, the city provides an inspiring destination for choirs seeking a memorable international performance experience.

The We Are Singing Ljubljana Festival brings together choirs from around the world for a non-competitive celebration of music, friendship and cultural exchange. Choirs have the opportunity to perform in two exceptional venues – the Julija Betetto Hall at the University of Ljubljana Academy of Music and the world-renowned Postojna Cave, one of Europe's most unique acoustic performance spaces.

This festival offers a wonderful opportunity to meet fellow singers, share musical experiences and perform in some of Slovenia's most remarkable locations while exploring one of Europe's most picturesque destinations.

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.
