IFCM is calling on millions of singers worldwide to join us and use their voices for peace through collective singing. We are confident that singing together is one of the most powerful tools we can use to contribute to achieving peace, which is currently a pressing global need.

The theme of the World Choral Day 2024 is Voices Uniting the Planet.

IFCM and Choirs for Ecocide Law (CFEL) are working together to make World Choir Day 2024 a celebration of peace and environmental sustainability.

  1. In-person performances
  2. Recorded song performances
