CHORALLE 2026 – Festival of the Voice and State Choir Competition

The 2025 event by the Landesmusikrat Hamburg laid the groundwork for the CHORALLE 2026, now organized jointly with Schleswig-Holstein. The Hamburg Landesmusikrat has consistently developed the event into a Northern German platform in recent years.

Hamburg's choir infrastructure is exceptionally dense: Bach-Chor zu St. Michaelis, St.-Petri-Chor, St.-Jacobi-Kantorei, NDR Choir, University Choir of the HfMT, plus hundreds of club, school, and neighborhood choirs. With the expansion to the neighboring federal state of Schleswig-Holstein, CHORALLE bundles this expertise across Northern Germany and creates a true springboard for ambitious ensembles in the federal state of Hamburg and beyond.
