After many years of successful cooperation with the China Arts and Entertainment Group (CAEG), IFCM is very excited to announce that the next World Symposium on Choral Music, the world’s most prestigious, non-competitive choral event, will take place in Macau SAR (China) in 2026.
Macau is well connected for travel by choirs and delegates with easy access from every corner of the globe. This amazing city is an autonomous region on the south coast of China, across the Pearl River Delta from Hong Kong. A Portuguese territory until 1999, Macau showcases a blend of cultural influences. This rich diversity provides the perfect site for WSCM 2026 that will be a true celebration of exchange and collaboration!
The international choral community, through IFCM, is extremely thankful to CAEG and wishes them every success and support in their preparations for this unique event in 2026.
Official magazine of the International Federation for Choral Music, the International Choral Magazine is published quarterly in the four official languages of IFCM: English, French, German and Spanish. It is distributed in more than 80 countries on the five continents and is the official voice of choral music around the world. Publication temporarily suspended.
