If your family enjoys music, cultural experiences, and inspiring performances, mark your calendar for the inaugural Voices of the World (VOTW) International Choir Festival 2026. Taking place from 16 to 20 July 2026, this five-day festival brings together some of the world’s most distinguished children’s and youth choirs for a unique celebration of choral artistry and international friendship.

Presented by the Voices of Singapore⁠, the festival creates a non-competitive environment where young singers from seven countries can share their cultures, learn from one another, and connect through music.

Enjoy Performances by Award-Winning Youth Choirs from Around the World

Throughout the festival, you can watch performances by renowned choirs from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. These ensembles are recognised internationally for their artistic excellence, unique musical traditions, and outstanding achievements in choral music.

Whether your child is passionate about music or you’re simply looking for a meaningful family outing, the festival offers an opportunity to experience diverse cultures through song.

Attend Spectacular Gala Concerts

One of the festival highlights is the Gala Concert series, featuring the full festival line-up performing together on stage. These large-scale concerts showcase both collective mass choir performances and curated presentations from participating choirs, creating a powerful celebration of global unity through music.

Experience Intimate Feature Concerts

For a closer look at each choir’s unique musical style and cultural heritage, you can attend the Feature Concerts. These performances spotlight individual choirs or paired ensembles, allowing audiences to enjoy a deeper appreciation of different choral traditions from around the world.

Go Beyond the Concert with Workshops and Open Rehearsals

Beyond the concerts, the festival also offers educational programmes that music-loving families will appreciate. You can participate in workshops, observe open rehearsals, and attend panel discussions led by internationally respected conductors. These sessions provide a rare glimpse into the training, discipline, and artistry behind world-class choir performances.

For children interested in singing, music education, or the performing arts, these activities offer valuable learning opportunities.
