International Franz Schubert Choir Competition

One of the most important international events on the choral calendar is currently taking place in Vienna, having started on November 14th and lasting until November 18th.

The International Franz Schubert Choir Competition brings together choruses from all over the world to compete in a wide range of levels and categories; mixed choirs, men, women, children and youth, chamber choruses, and groups specialised in Christian music.

The concerts at the event serve as an ideal opportunity for performers to discover new styles and techniques. Not everyone, however, is at the competition to compete- some performers choose to take part in various exhibition concerts in honour of Franz Schubert, the great composer himself.

The highlight of the event will be the presentation of the Franz Schubert Choral Prize.
