8–11 July 2027
Four days of choral music by the sea — the festival's 45th edition, with the 31st International Choral Competition.
It is with great pleasure that we announce the organization of the 45th International Choral Festival of Preveza, which is scheduled to take place from 8 to 11 July 2027.
The International Choral Competition of Preveza, now in its 31st edition, will take place from 8 to 11 July 2027 in the picturesque coastal city of Preveza, Greece. The competition is part of the broader International Choral Festival of Preveza, now celebrating its 45th anniversary.
Now entering its 45th year, our festival continues to grow as a meeting point for choirs from around the world, offering experiences of high artistic choral performance while constantly raising its standards. During the festival, numerous concerts are held in idyllic locations throughout our region, including the central beach of Preveza, historic churches of the city, and the Roman Odeon of Ancient Nicopolis.
The programme, the International Jury Committee and the participating choirs will be announced on this page.
Choirs of all kinds and levels are invited to participate in one or more categories (no maximum limit), tailored to reflect the diversity and artistic direction of vocal ensembles today. Each performance is evaluated by an international jury of experienced professionals.
Choirs scoring below 70 points will receive a Certificate of Participation. All participating choirs will receive detailed written evaluations and comments from the jury.
The repertoire of each category and the compulsory works are given in the competition rules (below).
Choirs of all types are welcome to participate in the festival without competing. Concert venues and times will be determined by the Organizing Committee, which will also decide which choirs will perform at each concert. Each choir will perform repertoire of its choice, either a cappella or with instrumental accompaniment, with a total performance duration of 10–15 minutes.
Selected choirs, after official acceptance by the Organizing Committee, must pay a non-refundable deposit of €250 to confirm participation. Each choir must also pay a participation fee of €35 per person (including singers, conductor, musicians, and escorts) no later than 15 May 2027. This fee covers participation in the festival and all official festival events, but does not include accommodation or meals.
Early Bird: choirs completing their registration and full payment of the participation fee by 31 January 2027 pay a reduced fee of €30 per person.
Payment by bank transfer, PayPal, or cash upon arrival (only with prior written approval). The bank details are given in the rules.
Each choir must send the following no later than 1 May 2027:
Choirs are solely responsible for their travel arrangements, accommodation and meals; the festival does not provide packages nor handle such arrangements. In summer, Preveza is served by Aktion Airport (PVK); from Athens it is about 3.5 hours by car or 5 hours by intercity bus.
