Eichstätter Jugendkantorei celebrates with 4,400 singers at the choir festival!
Eichstätt, Deutschland - What's going on in Eichstätt? The city soon becomes the musical center when the Youth Cantry 16. to July 20, 2025 gives the musical host for the 45th International Festival of the "Pueri Cantores". Under the title "Cantate Domino - Mudied for Peace - #ComeAndsing", the event will lure over 4,400 young singers from 18 different countries to the Bavarian capital of Munich.
A special highlight is the public concert "Come and Sing", which will take place on July 15th at 7 p.m. in the Eichstätter Dom. The experienced conductors Manfred Faig, Petra Verhoeven and Juliane Kathary take over the musical direction. A voluntary donation is requested for admission, while the concert is part of a multi -day exchange program with two other youth choirs from Germany.
a colorful exchange program
The guests from Düsseldorf and Koblenz will arrive in Eichstätt on July 12th and accommodate them in host families. Together there are a number of exciting activities on the program: In addition to rehearsals, there are appearances on the youth stage of the Willibaldswoche and the help of a service for marriage anniversaries. There is also a paddle tour on the Altmühl and a hike on the panorama path to explore the area together.
The highlight of the exchange is undoubtedly the common sample of all choirs in the impressive Eichstätter Dom. Shortly after these wonderful experiences, the guest choirs and the Eichstätter Jugendkantorei continue to Munich to take part in the opening service on Marienplatz on July 16th.
diverse program in Munich
During the festival, a varied program is planned that includes concerts, peace prayers and workshops. The participants have the opportunity to sing in social institutions and take part in meeting concerts in churches. A real feast for the ears will be the "festival of cultures", which invites you to sing together on Marienplatz. Munich 25 has listed the most important venues such as the Munich residence and various inner city churches.
The festival aims not only to sing, but also to pray together and to celebrate for peace. It is a platform that promotes the exchange between different cultures and combines choirs from countries such as Brazil, Italy, Uganda and many more.
A look at the future
The youth cantore at the Eichstätter Dom has already gained experience on an international stage and was active at former festivals in Barcelona, Florence and Rome. With such a rich program and the high number of participants, this year's festival will surely become an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. The European Choral Association supports these events that not only represent a musical enrichment, but also help to strengthen the community across borders.
We can look forward to an impressive week full of music, joy and community. The countdown is running!
