Choral Worlds
Choral Worlds is the new vocal series that turns the Casals Forum into a resonant space for international chamber choirs.
In its first season, the focus is on Great Britain, where choral tradition and the present day unfold with particular richness — from luminous transparency to bold new colours. Three ensembles have been invited to exemplify this wide spectrum: Solomon’s Knot, ORA Singers, and the Echo Vocal Ensemble.
Der Kartenvorverkauf startet am 1. Juni 2026. Freunde der Kronberg Academy können sich bereits ab dem 20. Mai die besten Plätze sichern.
