International Choir Festival of Paris 7-10 March 2019

For the 25th time, the International Choir Festival of Paris – Ile de France is happy to welcome choirs from various countries throughout Europe and across the globe.

There is no need to prove the reputation and the attraction of the French capital. You will have ample time to discover or to rediscover Paris but of course also the opportunity to sing there.

Friendship concerts will be organised on Friday in and around Paris featuring several other choirs from different countries and a local choir. This will be the first occasion to create friendships and exchange with the other choirs.

But the highlight of your trip will most probably be the final concert at La Madeleine Church in the company of all attending choirs. Each one of the choirs will first present a song from their repertoire and at the end, they will come together to perform the final song of the festival.

This rare opportunity to sing in this significant place of Parisian cultural life, in front of a big public, will definitely be a fantastic experience for all your singers.

Of course, we can help you also to extend your trip to other parts of France if you wish so.

During the last edition, we could welcome choirs from Italy, Vietnam, Switzerland, France, Madagascar, China, Turkey and Great Britain and now we would be very happy to help your choir to be part of this big event and to give your singers the opportunity to experience the emotions felt by previous participants.
