Concerts
Tampere Vocal Music Festival’s concerts present the stylistic spectrum of choral and ensemble music in a bold and open-minded way, without forgetting tradition and history. The free concert series is spread throughout the city, offering singing performances and community singing events for children, the elderly and the casual passer-by.
Contest for Vocal Ensembles
In the international Contest for Vocal Ensembles, vocal ensembles compete in acoustic and amplified categories. On Wednesday, all competitors will perform for 15 minutes. Winners will be announced at the Ensemble Contest Gala on Thursday.
Chorus Review
Over the three days (Thursday - Saturday), around 50 choirs will perform at the Choir Review, each for 15 minutes. The festival will culminate in the Chorus Review Gala on Sunday.
Workshops and Choir Forum
The festival programme also includes workshops tailored above all for singers and conductors, as well as the Choir Forum in the lobby of Tampere Hall. The Choir Forum is the festival's common meeting place, where choral and vocal music lovers can meet, discuss and enjoy free events.
