From April 29 to May 2, 2026, the Italian city of Pesaro will become a world stage for choral art. The International Choir Contest WORLD OF CHOIRS brings together ensembles from all over the globe to showcase not only vocal mastery, but also culture, traditions, and unique artistic identity.

The festival welcomes everyone – from children’s, youth, chamber, and church choirs to folklore, pop, jazz, and gospel groups. Some ensembles compete, others participate non-competitively – but all receive professional evaluation, diplomas, and a chance to perform on an international stage.

The event takes place in a theatre, with an international and demanding jury. Performances are evaluated on technique, interpretation, emotional expression, ensemble unity, and artistic presence. Yet beyond the scores, WORLD OF CHOIRS is an experience – a meeting of voices and cultures, shared singing, and true inspiration.

The organizers also offer an excursion program to Venice, Florence, Rome, San Marino, and other iconic destinations, turning the contest into an unforgettable Italian journey.

Applications are now open. Reserve your spot and take advantage of the -10% early registration discount between October 31, 2025 and January 10, 2026.
