TYPES OF EVENTS OFFERED UNDER THE LABEL AND SUPPORTED BY THE EUROPEAN CHORAL ASSOCIATION

All events promoted by the European Choral Association are based on the following principles:

Among the activities promoted there can be special competitions or educational offers in relation to competitions, especially if the organisers are members of the Choral Festival Network.
  • all events have an educational aspect (which can be a training courses, workshops, choir-to-choir concerts, open singing or other elements which help participants improve their level of knowledge).
