Bali International Choir Festival

Bali International Choir Festival — a five-day celebration of choral music bringing together choirs from across Asia, Europe, and beyond for performances, competitions, and cultural exchange. Held across multiple venues in Bali, the festival showcases the unifying power of choral singing in a uniquely inspiring tropical setting.

Participating choirs compete in categories including mixed choirs, equal-voice choirs, sacred music, folk music, and contemporary compositions. Beyond the competition, the programme includes joint concerts, workshops led by internationally recognised choral conductors, and cultural exchange activities where visiting choirs collaborate with local Balinese musical groups — creating unique fusions of Western choral traditions with Balinese gamelan and vocal techniques.

Who should attend: Choral singers, conductors, music educators, and anyone who appreciates vocal music. Competition sessions are open to the public with day passes available. The gala concert on the final day features the best choirs and joint performances.

Venues: Performances are held at various venues including hotel ballrooms, cultural centres, and open-air stages across Bali. Check the festival schedule for specific locations and times.
