FESTIVAL EXPERIENCE
All of the festival choirs will showcase their own repertoire with performances in a variety of venues, including the Concert Hall at the „Blagoje Bersa“ in the Zagreb Academy of Music and historic churches throughout Zagreb. Singers will also have the opportunity to participate in workshop experiences with some of Croatia’s leading choral experts. Like most festivals, cultural exchange is very important and during the festival choirs will have the chance to meet and engage with each other through social and music interaction culminating with a joint performance onstage of one or two pieces at the end of the Gala Concert. Of course participants will also have free time to enjoy all the city of Zagreb has to offer.

DALMATIA
One of the four historical regions of Croatia, Dalmatia proudly possesses one of Europe’s most dramatic shorelines, as the dark and imposing wall of the coastal mountains opens down towards a lush coastal band dotted with Olive groves and stunning beaches. Although broad in scope and consisting of some harsh natural wilderness, Dalmatia is also home to surprisingly intimate villages, which can often be found just a few minutes’ stroll from the coastal strip and are home to a variety of vibrant outdoor performances.
