The Festival

The VERONA GARDA ESTATE INTERNATIONAL CHORAL FESTIVAL is a non-competitive event that takes place on Lake Garda and in the provinces of Northern Italy, which are rich in history, culture and beautiful landscapes.
The primary aim of the Festival is to encourage the meeting of distant and different musical cultures.
The variety of performance venues with the Cities of Art at the centre (the programme includes evening concerts in churches, squares and theatres, and ancient villas) and the vast repertoire presented, which attracts a wide audience, make the event a qualified moment of artistic and cultural encounter.
Launched in 2007, the Festival was immediately joined by numerous choirs from all continents.
Now in its 15th edition, the Festival has reached important milestones having welcomed over 500 choirs from all over the world, organised around 1,000 choral concerts and created opportunities for 20,000 people from all over the world to meet, not only in love with choral singing but also with the artistic, cultural, landscape and historical wonders offered by the marvellous Italian territory.
The Festival takes place annually in June and July, in cooperation with many municipalities around Lake Garda and in the provinces of Verona, Vicenza, Brescia and Mantua.
