History
of the Festival
The festival and the A Capella singing contest was first held in 2017. There was a total of 250
applications and
168 received the green light. More than 4 million visitors attended the various recital venues over 12 days. One
year saw a total of 184 participants with almost 7 million people attending. In 2019, Moscow A Cappella
brought
7.4 million people together to hear 195 contestants.
In 2024, singers from various countries will be back in Moscow to share their experiences and vie for the grand festival prize, or at least to take home medals in various categories depending on how many participants take part. When it comes to genre, there is no limit. The only unchanged stipulation is that there should be no musical accompaniment, just the purity of voice!
