ChoralFest

ChoralFest is a two-week festival in November open to all Manitoba school, community, and church choirs. Our accomplished clinicians work with each group at its own level, no matter the level of experience.

ABOUT

ChoralFest is an annual two-week, non-competitive festival that provides choirs and conductors an opportunity to work with choral specialists from across the continent. The festival invites all levels and styles of choral singing, including vocal jazz. Approximately 120 choirs and 4,500 singers participate each year.

ChoralFest is open to all choirs; no matter a choir’s level of experience, our clinicians work with each group at its own level. Participating choirs must be members of MCA. For more information on membership with MCA, click here.

Although ChoralFest is non-competitive, clinicians may recommend choirs to represent Manitoba at the national annual festival, MusicFest Canada.
