About the 2011 Festival
During last year's hugely successful six day Festival, more than 60 adult, youth, boys and school male choirs from across the world participated in concerts, competitions, less formal singing events and social occasions across Cornwall. Almost all events had capacity audiences. Some choirs have already expressed the wish to return in 2013.
