29 October – 1 November 2021

In 2021 the Tolosa Choral Contest will celebrate its 52nd edition. Yes, suddenly we became one of the oldest choir competitions in Europe!

After a year off, we are coming strong. Conditioned by the health situation, after the Festival in 2020, this year we will have an international competition with chamber choirs. United States, Hungary, Latvia, local groups … In addition, there will be an international festival with choirs from Sweden, Ireland, Germany …

It has been a huge job, but once again we will have high-level local and international choirs in Tolosa. We will enjoy. You will enjoy it. That gives us strength to keep working. Therefore, we welcome you to the 52nd Tolosa Choral Contest.
