International Choir Competition in Provence 2026

Saint-Raphaël, the pearl of the French Riviera, hosts global choral excellence.
For the fifth edition of its International Choir Competition in Provence, Saint-Raphaël becomes home to the sole International Choir Competition in France.
Under the sun of the French Riviera and facing the Mediterranean Sea, the Competition offers a unique opportunity to compete against others, gain recognition, and experience an unforgettable musical adventure in one of France’s most beautiful regions.
Before a recognized international jury, you will have the opportunity to compete in friendship and conviviality across a dozen categories open to all amateur choirs, of all levels, styles, and countries.
In parallel, you are free to also participate in the International Choir Festival in Provence, which will allow you to visit absolutely magnificent sites and perform concerts in numerous towns and villages throughout the region.
