112 choirs are registered to perform for you at Festival 2024, and there is a waiting list for additional choir hoping to attend.

Ten Festival Choruses offer singing delegates the chance to work with a guest conductor, rehearse with singers from across the world, and perform in an evening Blockbuster concert. Sign up for Festival choirs beginning November 20, 2023!
