Founded in 2016, the World Voices Festival is a globally recognised, non-competitive choral festival bringing singers together from around the world to learn, perform, and connect. Recognised by American Express Essentials as one of the most Awe-Inspiring Choral Festivals in the World, the festival has welcomed over 5,000 singers from 250+ choirs across the UK, USA, Ireland, India, Iceland, and Germany, with each event typically bringing together around 300 participants.
‍
Originally established in the UK and hosted in cities including St Albans, Manchester, York, Chichester, Monmouth, and Exmouth, the festival expanded internationally in 2025 with its first overseas event at the iconic Berlin Philharmonie. With future events planned both in the UK and internationally, the World Voices Festival now operates as a truly global choral platform.
‍
Open to choirs and individual singers of all styles, sizes, ages, and abilities — from community and professional choirs to a cappella groups, choral societies, school and university ensembles, gospel choirs, and barbershop groups — the festival is built around learning, collaboration, and musical excellence.

Participants work with leading choral workshop specialists in a supportive, practical environment focusing on vocal technique, performance, blend and balance, stagecraft, language, and new musical styles.

While proudly non-competitive, choirs who perform receive written feedback from expert leaders, leaving inspired, confident, and ready to raise their musical standards.

From Pop and Gospel to Classical, Vocal Technique and Performance, there is something for everyone at the World Voices Festival

Inspirational. Fun. Non-Competitive.
