GREETINGS,

To choirs from Indonesia and from all over the world.

I am so grateful to God that we are able to invite you to the 8th Bali International Choir Festival 2019. It is our delight and pleasure to welcome a multitude of choir participants from Indonesia and beyond for this upcoming event.

Bali International Choir Festival is increasingly recognized as one of the finest festivals in the world and continuously attracts outstanding and enthusiastic choirs to participate. It is becoming one of the top festivals in terms of the quality of an organization, level of choirs, and world-class juries.

BICF is an exceptional combination of a high-quality choir competition with the atmosphere of a joyful, hospitable, and friendly festival. In addition to the competition, the BICF provides educational activities and clinics to aid in the development of the choirs involved, including opportunities to participate in friendship concerts and collaborative concerts.

As one of the top destinations in the world, Bali is not only a paradise for tourists but also is a wonderful place to visit for choirs from all around the world. Each choir that participates in the BICF will certainly return home with sweet memories of fine performances and the beautiful paradise of Bali.

We look forward with great anticipation to welcoming you and your choir to Bali: “a piece of heaven on earth”.
