We will be happy to help choirs with catering. The detailed registration questionnaire (which you will be able to fill out only after paying the 1st part of the participation fee) also includes an exact menu, in which you will be able to order the appropriate number of meals for your choir. Catering takes place at Červený Hrádek and includes only Saturday lunch and dinner. However, competitors are invited to a modest Friday banquet after the concert, a baguette after the Saturday Gala Concert and a Sunday banquet after the workshop.

The festival also includes "Concerts in the Region", in which we believe you will actively participate in singing.
