Who can participate?
Organized choirs and vocal ensembles from different educational, community and artistic contexts can apply. Use How to Participate for the current eligibility criteria and requirements.
Participation and confirmation
Application, Step 2 and the official participation process
How does a choir begin the participation process?
First review How to Participate for eligibility and the official process. When the choir is ready to begin, use Apply as Step 1. The sequence then continues to Step 2, review of the written proposal together with Base Program 2027, and confirmation.
Does submitting Apply confirm participation?
No. Apply begins the participation process. Participation is confirmed only after the required review, proposal and confirmation steps are completed.
Where should directors review package conditions and responsibilities?
Use Base Program 2027 for the general participation framework, package conditions and responsibilities. Delegation-specific conditions are stated in the written proposal issued for the choir.
Where can directors review the 2027 artistic experience?
Use Program 2027 for the five-day artistic journey, general itinerary, concerts, shared learning, cultural exchange and collective singing.
Travel, costs and planning
Questions directors often need answered before making commitments
Are international flights included?
International airfare should not be assumed to be included. Directors should review the Base Program 2027 and the written proposal issued for their choir for the applicable responsibilities and inclusions.
Can family members or companions travel with the choir?
Companion arrangements depend on the choir's participation structure and proposal. Include estimated companions when the festival requests delegation information so planning can be evaluated accurately.
Can a choir arrive before or leave after the official festival dates?
Additional dates should not be assumed to be part of the official festival package. If your choir needs a different travel window or a personalized Costa Rica journey, use Travel with Purpose Costa Rica for Choirs.
What repertoire should a choir prepare?
Choirs should follow the current artistic guidance communicated for the 2027 edition. Use How to Participate and the guidance provided directly to choir directors. The Common Songs page preserves previously published shared repertoire and rehearsal resources; only repertoire officially confirmed for 2027 should be treated as current.
Are there Common Songs?
Choral Fest has used shared repertoire for collective musical moments in different editions. The Common Songs page preserves previously published scores and rehearsal resources. For 2027, only repertoire confirmed through Program 2027 or official choir-director communications should be treated as current.
Should choirs buy flights before confirmation?
Directors should avoid major non-refundable travel commitments until participation status, official dates and relevant arrival or departure requirements are sufficiently clear.
Where should we verify passport, visa and entry requirements?
Travelers should verify current official entry requirements for their nationality and itinerary through the relevant government or consular sources. Use Passport Requirements for Choir Tours and the international travel planning resources as supporting guides.
Should a choir review travel insurance?
Directors should consider whether travel insurance is appropriate for their group and review the actual policy terms, exclusions and timing. Use Travel Insurance for Choir Groups for the planning questions to review.
Flexible dates and director resources
Different travel dates, planning help and other inquiries
What if our choir needs different dates?
Use Travel with Purpose Costa Rica for Choirs. It is the separate customized pathway for flexible dates and personalized choir travel outside the official festival format.
Where can choir directors find planning resources?
Use For Choir Directors for the main planning hub, and Choir Trips Abroad for the broader international choir travel cluster.
Can institutions, partners or media contact Choral Fest?
Yes. Use the Contact page for partnership, institutional, venue, media or general inquiries.
What should we do if our question is not answered here?
Use the Contact page for clarification. If your choir is ready to enter the official 2027 participation process, review How to Participate and then begin with Apply as Step 1.
Music, unity and connection

Good planning gives singers and directors more space to focus on the musical and human experience. Clear information is part of creating trust before a choir travels internationally.
