How to participate in Choral Fest Costa Rica 2027
This page is the canonical reference for who can participate, current participation requirements, what choirs should prepare and how the official participation process works.
The official sequence is: Apply → Step 2 → written proposal + Base Program 2027 → confirmation. The initial application begins the process; it does not by itself confirm participation.
If you are still exploring the event itself, first review the International Choral Festival Costa Rica 2027 . For the artistic itinerary and festival experience, use Program 2027 . For package conditions and responsibilities, use the Base Program 2027 .
Choirs and vocal ensembles from different contexts
The festival welcomes national and international ensembles prepared for a formative, cultural and human choral experience.
Participating choirs must include at least 16 singers. Directors, accompanists, family members, chaperones and other travelers do not count toward this artistic minimum.
Directors of student ensembles can also review our dedicated School Choir Tours guide.

Present the sound, identity and cultural heritage of your ensemble.
Take part in workshops, shared musical activities and spaces for growth.
Connect through schools, churches, cultural spaces and local encounters.
Discover the country through culture, hospitality, nature and a shared message of peace.
