We are delighted to announce a new edition of the Corearte Choral Festival, which will take place in the heart of Colombia’s cultural life: Bogotá, from September 8th to 13th, 2026.

Participants will not only share the stage in a celebration of choral artistry, but will also explore some of Colombia’s most iconic treasures: the awe-inspiring Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, the breathtaking Monserrate Hill, and the vibrant streets of Bogotá’s historic center.
