Bali International Choir Festival

The Bali International Choir Festival brings together the best choir performances on the island, concerts and workshops for choir lovers.

The festival aims to allow singers and conductors to gain experience and build their skills and knowledge in workshops, formal rehearsal spaces and concert settings.

The festival began in 2000 and was started by Tommyanto Kandisaputra. His vision for the festival was to create a vibrant music scene for choirs in Bali. In doing so, Tommyanto has put together various festivals, workshops and concerts, all aimed at bringing on board various choirs worldwide.

By creating a platform where musicians can gain exposure, the Bali International Choir Festival is a must-attend event for lovers of music and choral performances. Those touring Bali at the time of the festival can enjoy the numerous choirs that perform. These performances include children’s choirs, youth choirs and even performances by choirs made up entirely of senior citizens.
