What happens when 18 diverse cultures come together to celebrate the love for collective singing?

The Choral Study Tour in Lebanon will be a Mediterranean fusion of music, cuisine, and traditions. The European Choral Association, in collaboration with the Fayha National Choir, is excited to announce this year’s Choral Study Tour in Lebanon as part of the Choral Ties project co-funded by the EU.

We invite all musicians and collective singing lovers to join us this upcoming September 12-18, 2025 and discover Lebanon’s choral scene, nature, and local cuisine. The tour aims to present the vibrant genre of Arabic choral music, in its different styles and forms. The program will include visits to several choirs across Lebanon as well as the opportunity to attend concerts, and engage in lectures, workshops, and roundtable debates. Participants will also get to lodge in various parts of the country, experiencing a unique blend of Lebanon’s different climates and cultures.

The Study Tour in Lebanon will proudly host Conductor Jan Schumacher from Germany as a guest.
