International Choral Festival in Costa Rica for Peace 2027

Sing for Peace. Connect Through Music. Experience Costa Rica.

Choirs from around the world are invited to share their music, discover new cultures and create meaningful human connections through a festival inspired by peace.

Our purpose

Where Voices Become Connection

Choral Fest Costa Rica for Peace brings singers, directors, audiences and communities together through a shared musical experience.

Every rehearsal invites us to listen. Every concert creates an encounter. Every choir brings a sound, a culture and a story that deserves to be heard.

The festival is non-competitive. Its focus is artistic sharing, cultural exchange and the human relationships that can grow when people sing and listen together.
