Trillme Festival – 7th International Girls’ Choir Festival

Trillme Festival – 7th International Girls’ Choir Festival is a one-of-a-kind artistic event in Europe. It will take place in September 2026 in Poznań, the vibrant capital of Wielkopolska, Poland.. The idea and the festival itself are brought to life by one of the most acclaimed girls’ choirs in Europe – the SKOWRONKI ((The Skylarks)) Girls’ Choir, led by Alicja Szeluga and based at the ZAMEK Culture Centre in Poznań.

Poznań, called a city of choirs, is recognised in Poland as well as abroad as the greatest Polish choral centre. During the festival it will become a musical meeting place for girls aged 12 to 19 from different parts of the world. The beauty of the girl's voice together with its subtle sound will be filling concert halls of Zamek Culture Centre and other unusual venues around Wielkopolska.

Music from the participants' native countries will be mostly heard throughout the festival. Concerts will provide the choirs with an opportunity to present the richness of their countries' musical culture and inspire them to culture swap. A further aspect of the festival is showing openness and respect to each other. At the culmination of the festival, all choirs will sing at the grand finale concert, which will include presentations of individual choirs as well as massed performance of one of Polish composers' grand works.

The culminating moment of the festival will be the Gala Concert, during which the choirs, in addition to presenting their individual programmes, will join together in a collective performance of a work by a Polish composer.

The 7th Trillme Festival will take place from 16 to 20 September 2026. It promises to be an unprecedented and exceptional artistic experience—a true feast for the discerning music lovers of Poznań and for choral enthusiasts from across the globe. The welcoming city of Poznań and the festival organizers warmly invite performers and audiences alike to this extraordinary celebration of music voiced by young women from around the world!
