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 second time, we will also organise an autumn festival at the Rákóczi square market hall and its neighborhood!

As in previous festivals, the choirs will perform concerts at several venues in parallel time slots. In addition to classical choral works, the audience can also enjoy sacred music, as well as arrangements of folk songs and pop songs.

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, 19 September, 14:00-18:30 at Rákóczi square (Budapest 8th district).

Tickets

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

Program

Singing Market

Opening the event at 14:00 and at half-time at 16:00 the choirs will each give short performances to give visitors a taste of their program.

Concerts

The 20-minute concerts will take place in 3 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.
