A choral festival with a human purpose
Choral Fest Costa Rica for Peace was created for choirs that believe music can do more than perform beautifully.
It can bring people together. It can open dialogue. It can build respect. It can help communities listen to one another.
In this festival, choral singing becomes a shared act of presence, harmony and hope. Choirs do not travel only to perform. They come to participate in a meaningful cultural experience where music serves connection, peace and human transformation.
Why Costa Rica?
Costa Rica is known around the world for peace, nature, education and hospitality. It is a country without an army, with a long-standing identity connected to dialogue, environmental care and peaceful coexistence.
For international choirs, Costa Rica offers more than beautiful landscapes. It offers a living context where music, culture and peace can meet naturally.
During Choral Fest Costa Rica for Peace, choirs experience the country through concerts, community encounters, cultural exchange and moments designed to create connection among singers, directors and audiences.

2027 Festival dates
June 23–27, 2027
The 2027 edition of Choral Fest Costa Rica for Peace will include concerts, workshops, cultural exchange activities, shared singing opportunities and meaningful encounters with local communities.
Participating choirs will have the opportunity to perform, listen to other ensembles, connect with directors from different countries and become part of an international choral experience rooted in peace.
More than a concert tour
A choir tour can be more than travel. It can become a shared memory. It can strengthen the identity of a choir. It can help singers understand the world with more empathy.
At Choral Fest Costa Rica for Peace, every choir is invited to experience music as a language of encounter. The journey is not only about where the choir performs, but about what the choir carries back home.
For choir directors
Planning an international choir trip requires trust, clarity and support.
Choral Fest Costa Rica for Peace is designed to help directors lead their ensembles into an experience that is artistically valuable, culturally respectful and logistically organized.
Directors receive information about participation, estimated costs, lodging, meals, transportation, concerts and the application process.
The goal is to help each choir arrive prepared, supported and connected to the purpose of the festival.
A message to every singer
When a choir sings, each person gives something small but essential.
A breath. A note. A listening ear. A willingness to blend.
That is why choral music is such a powerful symbol of peace. It teaches us that harmony is not created when everyone sings the same way, but when different voices learn how to belong together.
At Choral Fest Costa Rica for Peace, we invite singers from around the world to bring their voices to Costa Rica and become part of a message larger than themselves.

Sing with Purpose in Costa Rica
Another date. The same purpose.
Sing with Purpose in Costa Rica
In this 10th Edition of Choral Fest Costa Rica for Peace, we are delighted to announce that we will continue offering our recognized Choral Festival for Peace in June, while also opening a new door for choirs that wish to come to Costa Rica at other times of the year.
We call this experience Sing with Purpose in Costa Rica: a customizable proposal that allows each ensemble to experience choral singing as encounter, learning and peace-building, with a program designed according to its own schedule, interests and goals.
In this way, more choirs can come to Costa Rica not only to sing, but to live a meaningful experience where music becomes a bridge, a community and a purpose.
Not every choir can travel during the official dates of Choral Fest. That is why, for our 10th Edition, we have created a special option for ensembles that wish to come to Costa Rica at another time of the year and experience a choral journey with purpose.
This proposal is designed for choirs that want to sing, learn, share and connect through the values that give life to our festival: listening, community, cultural exchange and peace through music.
We can design a customized experience for your ensemble, including concerts, workshops, shared gatherings and meaningful activities that turn the trip into a deep artistic and human experience.
Because when a choir travels with purpose, it does not only sing. It leaves a mark.
