In addition to the competition concert featuring the selected choirs, a series of other activities are organized over the weekend, including workshops for both singers and choir directors, talks and roundtables on the choral world, to which anyone interested is invited, and additional choral concerts featuring choir members from the Valencian Community..

Halftime performances

Conferences and round tables

Round tables or book presentations related to music are also held. These events have promoted music-related activities and featured talks on the challenges and benefits of choral music and amateur music associations in general..

Coral workshops


They are generally the choirs themselves, and not just the conductors, who request training activities to complement the work they normally do in rehearsals.

It's clear that, when well-organized, the workshops can be a magnificent tool for motivating both organizers and visitors, , as well as fostering exchanges and relationships between groups from different regions (many singers return to one workshop after another).


But above all, they give us the opportunity to discover music and work with conductors we wouldn't otherwise have. As organizers of the competition, we must respond to these concerns and continue working to develop and build our choirs..

It's where we discover new voices, where we experience new sensations, and, of course, we have the pleasure of being immersed in a sound.


It's an intelligent and fun way to learn to appreciate other people, other choirs, other directors and other ways of understanding music. The workshop's objectives include physical,, mental and vocal preparation before singing, an approach to choral singing scores in all their forms, and singing, improvisation, tuning, diction and staging techniques..

The Choral Workshop has featured prestigious directors and composers in its editions:

Javier Busto – Founder-Director of the Coro Eskifaia en Hondarribia.

Marco Antonio García de Paz – Director and founder of "El León de Oro".

JOSEP VILA – Director of the Orfeó Català and former header of the RTVE choir.
