We invite Argentinean and foreigner choirs to participate in the International Choir Festival "San Juan Coral", organized in San Juan, Argentina, in August every two years. It's next edition will take place in 2011.
It is a non competitive festival, for 8-10 selected mixed, feminine, masculine and/or chamber choirs. The Festival includes concerts and workshops programmed in four days filled with choral music, friendship and the traditional hospitality of the people in San Juan.
Singers, conductors and other musicians are also welcome to attend the concerts, workshops and participate in the Closing Concert with all the selected choirs.
Its main stage is Auditorio Juan Victoria, one of the most important concert halls in Latin America due to its excellent acoustics and modern design, with 1000 seats.
In order to cooperate in the organization for a South American tour, contacts with other choirs and choral associations are offered, and extension concerts in other cities and limiting countries (Chile, Brazil and Uruguay) are promoted.
This festival is an excellent opportunity to sing together, learn, and promote cultural exchange among all participants.
The diversity of the participant choirs in previous editions and their wide repertoire, from the Renaissance to the present including classical and popular/folk music from their own countries, are a wonderful proof of the choral heritage of every country in the world.
Enjoy this unforgettable experience with the magical atmosphere of choral singing!!
We also invite you to enjoy the beautiful landscapes of San Juan during your free time in the Festival.
