World Symposium on Choral Music 2023

From 25-30th April 2023, Istanbul will be host to one of the biggest events of the International Federation for Choral Music, held with the support of the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The theme for this event is Changing Horizons and aims to attract representation from all regions in the world with as many styles and traditions of ensemble singing as possible, in order to honour and celebrate the human practice of singing together.

The symposium will explore the current world of choir music and what singing together could look like in the near and far future. What better place to hold this exciting event than Istanbul, the only transcontinental city in the world? The event promotes artistic excellence, cooperation and exchange, by bringing together the finest choirs and choral leaders for performances, seminars, workshops, exhibitions and choral reading sessions.
