Why Your College Choir Should Perform at Encore Voices Prague 2026

Picture your university choir performing in the legendary Dvořák Hall at the Rudolfinum in Prague, bringing Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem to life alongside singers from around the world. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity awaits at the Encore Voices Prague Festival, now taking place June 7–12, 2026.

This premier choral event is designed specifically for university choirs, their directors, and individual student singers. Participants will take part in dynamic rehearsals, exclusive masterclasses, and cultural excursions, all culminating in a massed choir performance at one of Europe’s most iconic concert halls. Under the artistic direction of Anthony Blake Clark and festival consultant Simon Halsey, this festival is more than a performance, it’s a path to artistic growth and global connection.
