Verona Garda Estate International Choral Festival
Choirs from all over the world sing between Peschiera del Garda and the art cities of the Verona area
About Verona Garda Choral Festival
Voices from all over the world on Lake Garda
The Verona Garda Estate International Choral Festival is a non-competitive choral showcase that has been bringing choirs from every continent to Lake Garda and the provinces of Northern Italy since 2007. Peschiera del Garda, in the province of Verona, is one of the main venues, with evening concerts hosted in churches, squares, theaters, and ancient villas.
An encounter between cultures
The festival brings together choral ensembles from very distant countries — from the Cayman Islands to Iceland, from Canada to Australia, from Belgium to Germany, from Switzerland to Spain, and even China — alongside prestigious Italian choirs. The opening and closing ceremonies involve all participating choirs, in a grand moment of musical sharing.
Music and art cities
Four days immersed in some of Italy's most emblematic art cities, with grand choral concerts in churches, theaters, and ancient villas, a gala evening, and a final concert accompanied by tastings of typical Italian products. The festival combines the excellence of international choral music with the discovery of the historical and landscape heritage of the Garda and Verona area.
Peschiera del Garda, an exceptional setting
With its UNESCO World Heritage Venetian fortress overlooking the lake, Peschiera del Garda offers a suggestive setting for the festival's concerts. The event is a unique opportunity to hear choirs from all over the world in charming locations, within the historic walls and on the shores of Lake Garda.
