Gamarjoba! On 16–19 October 2026 choirs from different countries will meet in Kutaisi — one of the oldest cities in Europe — at the 2nd International Choral Festival “Music Without Borders”. After a successful first edition in 2025 we are returning to Georgia with an even richer programme.

What to expect

  • International Choral Contest for the Grand Prix on 18 October, in categories from sacred, contemporary and folk music to gospel and pop, for children’s, youth, senior and other choirs
  • the Gala Concert in Kutaisi, where all choirs sing a traditional Georgian piece together
  • festival concerts in towns of the Imereti region
  • the Laureate Concert
  • a full-day excursion to discover the beauty of Georgia

The jury will award the Grand Prix, diplomas and special prizes — including for the best performance of a work by a Georgian composer and by a contemporary composer.
