The 7th Tokyo International Choir Competition
 

25th-27th July 2025
Dai-ichi Seimei Hall,
Tokyo

Participating choirs are being recruited!

We offer a wide variety of categories to help you find

the perfect fit for your choir!

 

The Tokyo International Choir Competition offers the following categories.

A single choir may apply to compete in up to three categories.

 

Each category, with the exception of B and H, has a set piece.

The set piece must be a new work by a leading Japanese composer,

or a work selected from the prize-winning works

of the Japan International Choral Composition Competition.​

 

All choirs that enter the competition are first required

to undergo a sound recording screening as a qualifying round

(Notification of acceptance is scheduled for January.)

The choirs that pass the preliminary screening

will be selected to participate in the finals

and will perform on the stage of Dai-ichi Seimei Hall in July next year.

 

​Please refer to the regulations for entry.
