Why should you participate in the Cantemus Festival?
Choirs for choirs! We organise the Cantemus Choral Festival from the perspective of the choir members, based on our own experience in every two years.
International friendships
Since 1996, nearly 150 choirs and more than 6000 singers have performed in Nyíregyháza at our 14 festivals.
Competition
In addition to Dénes Szabó, our qualifying concerts have featured names such as Stephen Conoly, Theodora Pavlovitch, Martin Berger and Eugeniusz Kus on the jury.
Folklore
We attach great importance to getting to know each other's cultures, not only in Europe, but also in all the nations of the world.
Our team
Most choirs and choirmasters usually highlight the high-standard of organisational aspect of the festival. It is due to the fact that our organisers are also choir members themselves. Therefore their organisational work is combined with a choir oriented philosophy.
