Bring your whole choir
The ultimate choir tour! Participating choirs will be accommodated together as far as possible. They will sing, dine and explore together, and have plenty of opportunities to meet and hear the other choirs.
Or join the Festival Chorus
as an individual
Make friends who will last a lifetime. Participants who sign up as individuals (or small groups) will be grouped together into the Festival Chorus, led by our Festival Director. They will have all the same performing, dining and exploring opportunities as the other choirs.
The host choir
We are delighted to be partnering with Cambridge Schola - the University’s most ambitious and exciting new choir - for our Festival. Schola members will be on hand throughout the Festival to guide you round the city and to answer questions about their lives as choral scholars in this historic place.
