The Fira de Tots Sants Choral Contest in Cocentaina, was born with the aim of being an annual reference event in the Valencian choral world.. The continuous work and dedication of the group that makes up the Fira de Tots Sants Choral Contest Association has made it go beyond the mere regional borders and place the contest among the most valued in Spain, both for the prestige of the participants and for organizational excellence.

Promoting choral music written in Valencian language has been one of the unwavering objectives that we have set ourselves. . In this way, commissions written by contemporary authors have been born that have contributed to enriching the repertoire and whose dissemination has been helped by the participating choirs..

he stylistic requirements of the competition are intended not to be limiting and that the choirs can show the best of their usual repertoire. . For this reason it is very important to pay attention to the preparation of the chosen program, thinking that difficulty, variety and communication skills with the public and jury must be combined. . The program must work and it must capture the attention of the audience at all times.. In this way we will be able to promote the taste for listening to choral music and banish excessively homogeneous repertoires in this type of manifestations.. This aspect is so important for the organization that a 20 % of the overall score assigned by the jury..

A contest is always a good reason to work more actively on a choir. An appointment of these characteristics leads to more detailed attention to aspects of the works that would go unnoticed in a regular concert. Regardless of the final list of winners, Participants always win, since the level of the group is undoubtedly higher after addressing a contest than before. In addition, the pride of belonging, the taste for a job well done, the interest in learning and improving, people meet, live with their usual colleagues in a different way and, as if that were not enough, new cities are known.

The great choral fact brings together people of diverse formation and social status. We all work together and strive for a common goal: to perform choral music in a dignified way. Maybe there are many colleagues that we would never have known or shared experiences if it were not for their membership in the choir. We are voice ambassadors, an example of coexistence and a channel of popular culture.

I encourage you, therefore, to sign up for our contest and to share the magical moments that this type of collective manifestation produces in us.

See you soon, friends!
