Europa Cantat Festival

The new EMC Project Of The Month for this Summer 2021 is the Europa Cantat Festival from our member European Choral Association!

The Europa Cantat Festival is one of largest international music festivals worldwide and it is the central meeting point of the choral world. It is a festival of singers and choirs of all types, levels and ages, choral and orchestra conductors, music teachers, composers creators, aducators and managers, without any competitive elements.

Every three years, it is held in a new European country and this year, it will take place from 16-25 July in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The 2021 host country aims to shed light on the potential and the genuine cohesive role of choral music, particularly interrelating the arts, social and therapeutic activities, science, sport, tourism and other segments of society.
