Canta al mar keeps attracting singers from all over

Registration is still possible!

Canta al mar - Festival Coral Internacional

After the Early Bird Registration Deadline for Canta al mar 2018 ended on March 19, it turned out that this annual event in Calella and Barcelona is still a magnet for international choir singers also in its 7th year. 16 choirs from 10 nations have already decided to join the event in 2018 and there are many interesting ensembles among them. And apart from Coral Juvenil Santa Maria Pineda de Mar, which hasn’t missed a Canta al mar event since 2013, all registered choirs to date will sing in Calella for the first time this year.

As always, the cozy city at the sea is a very attractive destination for choirs from Scandinavia, which are happy to enjoy some last sunny days in Spain before going through another winter in Northern Europe. One of these choirs is Piger Vin Og Sang from Norway. Its story is definitely worth to be shared with you:

“Once upon a time, in 2004 to be exact, 3 girlfriends, convinced that they could not sing, but with a secret dream being able to, discovered an interesting ad in the newspaper.The ad read; «Singing course for people who cannot sing».


It was almost too good to be true, and happily they signed up. Little by little their voices sounded differently, thanks to a patient song teacher. The course ended but the girls wanted more, however joining a serious choir was too scary, - so they formed their own «Piker, vin & Sang» - translated to English; «Girls, Wine and Song».

Today 14 years later, - we bare the same name, and we have the same amount of fun however, we have grown in both shape and size and now all the girls, a total of 45 can sing!”

Another special choir is travelling all the way from Indonesia to Calella. Hotumese Choir is a real Choir Champion: At the Asia Pacific Choir Games & Grand Prix of Nations Colombo 2017 in Sri Lanka they became both Champion of the Asia Pacific Choir Games and Winner of the Grand Prix of Nations in the “Gospel, Spiritual, Music of Spirit & Faith” category. Check out this video and see how they rocked the stage after their first win:
