About
The Every Voice Festival returns for 2026!
Music is the heartbeat of our region. It plays a vital role in everything from celebration and reconciliation, civic pride, inclusion and regeneration. Allegri's ethos is that every voice matters. The Every Voice Festival celebrates this and the transformative power of singing together.
The North West region is a thriving tourist hot-spot, due in no small part to our rich cultural heritage which is admired the world over. Music-making is in our blood and the annual Every Voice Festival honours this, uniting singers in a celebration of song. Established in 2018, the Every Voice Festival continues to grow with Allegri coordinating annual music events throughout Derry and Strabane!
From powerful sacred music and inspiring youth performances to community choirs, workplace singers, care home concerts and spectacular gala performances - this year’s festival is our biggest and boldest yet.
