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 their 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 150 choirs and 6,000 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.
​
​Audience members are welcome. Cost is $5/day or $25/festival pass, payable by cash, debit, or credit card at the door.
