Dear Audience,
Despite the weather uncertainties forecast for today, the event will go ahead as planned. Any possible changes will be announced on the event’s Facebook page.

Night of Choirs

We believe that singing together brings joy, creates community and that choral music has its place not only in classical concert halls.

The Night of Choirs is an amateur choir festival that was initiated by the Csíkszerda choir in 2013. At our summer festival we fill the Palotanegyed quarter of the 8th district with choir concerts year by year. Since 2018 we have also organized the Winter Night of Choirs, hosted by the Hungarian House of Music for several years. This year, for the first time, we will also organise an end-of-summer festival at a very special venue: the Fiumei road graveyard.

As in previous festivals, the choirs will perform concerts at several venues in parallel time slots (see the Concerts section for a detailed program). A special feature of the event is that each choir will also bring a piece of music whose lyrics were written by a poet buried in the graveyard.

The final chord of the festival will be the final community singing of the festival’s closing song, sung by the participating choirs and the audience – together.

When and where

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, 30 August, 16:00-19:30 at the Fiumei út cemetery! (1086 Budapest, Fiumei út 16-18.)

Tickets

Unlike the summer and winter festivals, this event will be free of charge.

Program

Singing Trees

Opening the event at 16:00 and at half-time at 18:00 the choirs will each give short performances to give visitors a taste of their program.

Concerts

The 20-minute concerts will take place in 4 venues and in 6 time slots in parallel. Each choir will perform two concerts, so you can hear as many old favourites and exciting new choirs as possible.

Closing Song

After a short song lesson, we’ll sing the festival’s closing song together – join the magic!

Organizers

The Night of Choirs is organized by the volunteers of the Csíkszerda, members of the Csíkszerda choir family.

Application

The program is full, but at the end of the event we will sing the closing song together – performers, visitors and organisers.
