 An international choral event to extol the values of solidarity, peace and understanding!
Since 1990 thousands of choirs have been joining in the celebration of World Choral Day on or around the 2nd Sunday of December.

Millions of singers across the globe have been involved in World Choral Day concerts, festivals, sing-alongs, choral seminars, days of friendship and other events.

 The World Choral Day is an initiative of Alberto Grau from the Latin American Vice-Presidency of the International Federation for Choral Music, proposed and approved by the General Assembly of IFCM held in Helsinki in August, 1990, within the framework of the 2nd World Symposium on Choral Music: 
 
“The world is living through severe and continuous crisis of self destruction. There are no possible reasons that can justify these actions. The majority of the human race wants to live in peace with dignity. It is time to show, with more power and strength, that our choral family contributes, through music to break down the artificial barriers product of politics, different ideologies, religious differences, and racial hatred that separate human beings. We must be able to show that MUSIC, the divine art, is more than the mere search of formal perfection and interpretative beauty, music should serve to extol the values of solidarity, peace, and understanding . We cannot work isolated, we have to make all possible efforts to have our voices heard and to let music work its own paths of communication.”

In 2019 we celebrate World Choral Day on the 8th of December, but with the possibility to join during the full month of December!

We are happy to announce that the long tradition of this project continues in 2019 as well celebrating World Choral Day on the second Sunday of December (8 of December, 2019) but with the possibility to join with your choral events during the entire month of December. 
 
If you would you like to join a global choral event with your choir and share your love for choral singing with thousands of other choirs from all around the globe, then World Choral Day is just for you!

How it works

All participating choirs register their concerts/events on www.worldchoralday.org and download the proclamation that is given in 27 languages. This proclamation shall be announced at the beginning of every event.

After the concert, participating choirs will be kindly requested to send materials (photo, video) to the site for a greater visibility of the cause and as well as for a better appearance of their event on a global level.

In the recent years thousands events have taken place in about 50 countries with over 100,000 singers, spreading the proclamation to their audiences.

Cantando – the official song for World Choral Day 2019

Alberto Grau, initiator of the WCD celebrations composed a very joyful song for 2019 to be sung during all participating concerts. We would like to invite and encourage you to download the sheet music and the mp3 recording of this wonderful piece and sing it together at your choral event.
