Rencontres internationales de Chœurs d’Hommes

7th edition

In the heart of the Vallée de Joux, between lakes and forests, an exceptional musical tradition continues: the Rencontres Internationales de Chœurs d'Hommes (International Male Choir Festival)!
The 2026 edition promises to be particularly ambitious. On this occasion, the Vallée de Joux will welcome choirs from Switzerland, Norway, Spain, Portugal and Germany, bringing with them a variety of traditions and repertoires, which will set the region alight with concerts, exchanges and discoveries. These gatherings are much more than just a festival: they are a celebration of brotherhood, a space where diverse voices come together to celebrate the beauty of song and the richness of musical heritage.
Featuring: La Chorale du Brassus (CH), Knabenkqantorei Basel (CH), Christiania Maanskor (NO), Coro de Voces Graves de Madrid (ES), Ensemble Vocal Pro Musica (PT), Octavians (DE).
