Nearly 300 singers in sixteen choirs from Asia, Europe, and Africa will give 10 concerts at Nyiregyhaza's Kodaly Hall, 7 of which will be free, and all of them will be broadcast online.

The opening concert will be held on the first night of the festival at the Our Lady of the Hungarians co-cathedral by Hungarian choirs and the Kodaly Choir of Tokyo.

Another festival concert will be held at the local synagogue on Aug 16, while the participants will also give concerts at nearby Vallaj, Nagyecsed, and Tiszadada.

The choir contest will be held in front of an international jury on August 19, and in the evening the Czech Gentlemen Singers and Hungary's Seventeen Singers will give a joint concert. The Festival's gala will be held on August 20, at the Continental Arena.
