Helsingborgs Körfestival

We look forward to finalize all the choirs who will get together in the wonderful Swedish city. If you are still counting the reasons to join in your decision-making discussion, let us tell you why it would be a huge mistake to miss this event!

♪ Have a first-hand experience of the outstanding Swedish choral tradition - In Helsingborg, choirs from all over the world will have the chance to listen to the unique choral sounds from Scandinavia. Swedish choirs rank among the world’s best ensembles and have set the level of international choir competitions for many years.

♪ Sing in Helsingborgs’ prestigious venues – Our carefully selected venues boast really great acoustics and perfect ambience for your choral singing. The Opening and Closing Concerts are scheduled at the Helsingborg Arena promising to create the emotions you all know from the bigger Choir Games Events. The performances of the choir competition are planned in three venues: Dunkers Kulturhus, Helsingborg Konzerthus and at the wonderful Sankta Maria kyrka. Whereas Friendship concerts will take place at the Gustav Adolf kyrka as well as in the open air, at the Grytan Kärnanparken. These venues are the best you could wish for your performances!

♪ Don’t say no to the unique learning and singing opportunities – Helsingborgs Körfestival will also offer some outstanding workshops with Voces8 and Reading Sessions on New Swedish Choral Music with Helene Stureborg. The eight multiple-award-winning Brits will be present every day at the choral festival with both performances and workshops. The ensemble will kick off at the Opening Concert at the Helsingborg Arena on May 09, 2018 and will continue the following day with a concert at Helsingborg’s oldest church Maria Kyrka. Saturday will be filled with different workshops and fun activities where the separate workshop groups will be involved in joint tutorials designed to enhance their musical performance. VOCES8 will appear a last time on stage during the Closing Concert on May 12, 2018 with a presentation with workshop participants and their own program as well.
