Can I perform with my choir at the Night of Choirs?
The performers for the Night of Choirs festival are selected by our artistic director, Dr. Árpád Tóth. Participants are basically selected on an invitation basis, so there is no open call for applications. However, we are happy to see that more and more choirs are interested in performing at the Night of Choirs, and we are keen to organize a diverse program with new choirs every year. Application process: if you are interested in performing at any of the Night of Choirs events, please contact us at korusokejszakaja@gmail.com, and please attach a short introduction and a sound recording of your choir (it doesn’t have to be a professional recording). We will then contact you to inform you of the artistic director’s decision and provide further information.
