Visit https://www.piedmontchoirs.org/ggf-concerts-20262026 Golden Gate International Choral FestivalA World-Class Celebration of Youth Voices Comes to the Bay AreaFREE EVENTS INCLUDEDThis summer, the Bay Area will resonate with extraordinary music as the Golden Gate International Choral Festival welcomes over 450 choristers, adjudicators, and chaperones from around the globe for a week of breathtaking performances, cultural exchange, and artistic excellence.Taking place July 13–18, 2026, and hosted by the Piedmont East Bay Children’s Choir, the Festival stands as one of the world’s most celebrated gatherings of young singers. Under the visionary leadership of Artistic Director Eric Tuan, internationally recognized as one of the world’s premier youth choir conductors, the Festival promises performances of rare beauty, cultural significance, and emotional power.“The Golden Gate Festival is a place where young people from around the world build bridges between cultures,” says Tuan. “Even in a deeply divided world, the Festival offers us the chance to connect through the universal language of music, bringing our unique cultures and voices together to create international harmony. Children who sing together cannot build walls or create conflicts. They know in a deep, visceral way that what unites us is far greater than what divides us.”The Golden Gate Festival remains the only opportunity in the United States for children’s and youth choirs to meet and compete on an international stage. This year, visiting choirs will travel from the Philippines, Georgia, Austria, Catalonia, Poland, Finland, Estonia, Czechia, and across the United States, creating a vibrant and diverse cultural exchange that defines the Festival experience and fosters lasting global friendships.Opening Concert, July 13: $15Closing Concert, July 18: $35Kids 5 and Under FREE!Get your tickets today!
