About
The London International Choral Festival presents superb opportunities for young singers from overseas to come to London with their choirs and perform in some magnificent venues under the guidance and tutelage of some of Britain’s most celebrated vocal teachers and conductors. The focal point of the week long New Year’s Festival is the Grande Finale Gala Concert, where all of the Festival’s Choirs come together to perform in the magnificent Southwark Cathedral accompanied by Britain’s finest youth Orchestra – the Young Musicians Symphony Orchestra. This is a truly glittering occasion attended by all of the Mayors and civic dignitaries of London. Youth Music of the World has a brilliant and exclusive performance tour programme to enable participation in this event.
"The way the rehearsals and performance were structured really made me feel supported by everyone. I really appreciate the way we moved through the different pieces without taking extended breaks in the middle of songs. It made it much easier to grasp what we were being instructed to do! I was nervous heading into it, but once we arrived that went away. I loved the concert and it was one of the most incredible experiences I've ever had the pleasure of being a part of."
As a choir performing in the choral festival, taking part in the parade initially seemed like just something extra to do. But it ended up being one of the best parts of our trip. We carried the Guardsman balloon. It was so exciting, walking through the crowds of people, smiling, waving, cheering, even dancing up the streets. We felt like celebrities! To any choir going on this trip, we STRONGLY recommend participating in the parade!
"The London International Choral Festival is one of St. Paul’s Episcopal School’s Music Department’s fondest memories. The Gala Concert with full orchestra and our individual performance venues were truly awesome. The Itineraries, tours, accommodations and hospitality were amazing. In my thirty years of teaching and performing choral music at the high school level, this would be one of, if not the high point of our accomplishments."
"This experience will never be forgotten by our students and parents. I can assure you that for many, it was the proudest day of our lives. I am indebted to your organisation for the highest quality of management and personal concern I have ever experience on a trip"
