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 HGZ Croatian Music Institute 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.

ISTRIA
Istria, formerly Histria, is the largest peninsula in the Adriatic Sea. The peninsula is located at the head of the Adriatic between the Gulf of Trieste and the Kvarner Gulf. It is shared by three countries: Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy. The rocky coastline, with hilltop villages have many beautiful rustic locations for sightseeing opportunities that are very popular with adventurers.
PLITVICE NATIONAL PARK
National park Plitvice Lakes is considered one of the most beautiful national parks in the world featuring an intoxicating mixture of oak forests, meadows, rocks and lakes. A visit to the park is one of the highlights of the festival providing each guest with a visceral opportunity to explore the natural beauty of this enchanting land. The chain of lakes are joined by stunning waterfalls that provide every visitor with memories to last a lifetime.
DALMATIAN COAST
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.
