FAKS Sings

The FAKS Festival is an international event of cultural, educational, and entertainment character, created with the aim of encouraging lifelong learning and a love for art and creative expression, as well as improving the quality of life of amateur artists. The festival consists of an international choir festival held in the spring and an international folklore and traditional dance festival held in the autumn. Each year, it gathers more than 800 amateur artists of all generations and professions, promoting intergenerational solidarity, inclusive participation of citizens in amateur musical activities and production, and fostering audience development.

This year again, the Festival of Amateur Cultural Creativity brings excellent amateur choirs from across Europe to Istria!

Performing: Limerick Choral Union (Ireland), Hey!RUP Chomutov (Czech Republic), Bartók Béla Girls’ Choir (Hungary), Kodály Vocal Chamber Choir (Hungary), and TVT Choir (Hungary).

Participating Croatian choirs include the Chamber Choir “Rubino” from Rovinj, the Mixed Choir “Korona” from Umag, and the Mixed Choir “Roženice” from Pazin.
