What is included when hiring a choir

When you hire a choir through Artistealo you get a complete professional and artistic service. Most choirs include a repertoire adapted to the type of event (sacred, classical, romantic or contemporary), an accredited choir director, prior rehearsal or coordination with the organiser to adjust the programme, and a performance without amplification or with microphones depending on the space. Many choirs also offer the possibility of including soloists or instrumental accompaniment.

Frequently asked questions about choirs

What is the difference between a choir and a gospel or habaneras group?

A choir performs mainly polyphonic, classical or sacred music with rigorous vocal technique and a repertoire spanning from the Renaissance to contemporary choral music. Gospel focuses on African-American spiritual genres and habaneras on maritime songs. Although all three are vocal ensembles, their repertoire, aesthetic and atmosphere are very different.

Do choirs perform at civil weddings or only at religious ceremonies?

Choirs perform at both civil and religious weddings. For civil ceremonies they can adapt the repertoire with secular choral music, harmonised popular songs or contemporary compositions. For church weddings they offer a complete sacred repertoire. Talk to the choir to define the most appropriate programme.

How many voices do I need as a minimum for a wedding?

For an intimate wedding a chamber choir of 8-12 voices is perfectly sufficient and creates a very elegant atmosphere. For large churches or ceremonies with a large audience, choirs of 20 voices or more are recommended so that the sound fills the space completely.

How far in advance should I book a choir?

The most established and recognised choirs have their schedule booked 4-8 months in advance, especially during wedding season (May-October). For cultural or institutional events, book with at least 2-3 months to spare. Request your free quote as soon as possible to secure the choir you want.
