International highlights for choirs

 

 

International choir exchanges

 

Exiting concert venues at wonderful places, an international atmosphere and varied sightseeing - this is our frame for an unforgettable choir event that leads to a lasting  motivation to your choir. These international choir exchanges are an excellent way to present your choir in an exciting setting and to meet  other singers from around the world without the pressure of a  competition!

Advent Choral Festival Prague

The Christmas market at the Old Town Square, one of the most beautiful places in Europe, concert halls and churches invite choirs from all over the world to enjoy the pre-Christmas time.
