International Choir Festival

On the East Coast of England, with beautiful historical buildings, lively entertainment, bustling shops, traditional pubs and tasty restaurants, Yorkshire’s only waterfront city of Hull is a hidden treasure.

After a successful inaugural event in 2023, this competition returns, inviting choirs from across the globe to showcase their talents. Hull, known for its vibrant cultural life and historical beauty, offers the perfect backdrop for a celebration of music, that celebrates the diversity and unity of the choral world.

The choir competition in Hull offers categories for each type of choir, from Musica Sacra to Pop, Jazz & Gospel. Participants will also benefit from Evaluation Performances, where they’ll receive direct feedback from internationally acclaimed choral experts.

As a city with a rich choral history, from early church music to modern initiatives with a focus on outreach and inclusivity, Hull is eagerly waiting to welcome choirs from all over the world to this “singing city” again. Join in and sing with us in Hull!
