29th Alta Pust. Int. Choir Festival

CHORAL SINGING AND THE DOLOMITES UNITED IN A UNIQUE, GREAT FESTIVAL

The Alta Pusteria International Choral Festival is a non competitive choral event that takes place in Val Pusteria: this valley, one among the most beautiful one of the whole Alpine arc, is located at the border between Italy (Sudtirol region) and Austria (Osttirol region) at the foot of the Dolomites. The Festival programme includes about sixty performances divided into real concerts, “Open Air Reviews” and Meeting-Days, in which each participating choir can freely perform their repertoire.

The first edition of the Festival took place in 1998; since then more than 1300 choirs, coming from 49 countries, have been participating in the twenty-eight editions set up till 2022.

The variety of the locations selected for the performances together with the extremely rich repertoire presented by the participating choirs make this event not only one of the most spectacular international choral festivals but also a unique opportunity of mutual and fruitful exchange between different musical cultures.
