Mass Choir
The Mass Choir is the heart of the European Gospel Festival – a unique experience where 5,000 singers from all across Europe come together to bring gospel music to life. Under the direction of seven internationally renowned teachers and conductors, a powerful choral sound emerges that resonates far beyond the stage. Here, people with all levels of musical experience meet – from curious first‑time singers to seasoned gospel professionals. What unites them is their shared passion for music, faith, and community. Through intense rehearsals, inspiring arrangements, and moving musical moments, the choir grows into one large international family. The Mass Choir is more than just a musical project: it is an experience that opens hearts, unites voices, and makes tangible how music connects people. Anyone who sings here becomes part of something greater – vibrant, energetic, and full of hope.
The conductors have prepared songs for the mass choir. Listen to them now on a streaming platform of your choice and get in the gospel groove!
