Nancy Voix du Monde

An international-scale choral singing festival

Nancy Voix du Monde is the international choral singing festival of Nancy, one of the most important choral events in France. Created in 1979 by a dedicated association, this biennial festival brings together choirs from around the world every two years in the Lorraine capital for several days of concerts, meetings, and musical sharing.

Choirs from all corners of the globe

Since its creation, Nancy Voix du Monde has hosted over 260 choirs from 63 countries. Each edition invites a selection of international choral groups representing a great diversity of musical traditions, from African polyphonies to European symphonic choirs, as well as vocal ensembles from Asia and the Americas.

A family welcome

One of the festival's unique features is its homestay program. Invited choristers are hosted by families from Lorraine choirs, creating deep and lasting human connections. This dimension of exchange and fraternity is at the heart of Nancy Voix du Monde's identity.
