There will be international schools from across the globe. Each school will bring 6 female singers with them and the girls will combine to make a mass international girls’ choir. They will spend 3 days participating in choir workshops, seeing the city, and finishing with a joint concert for the community. All students are billeted in groups of 2 and 3 with host families from the International School of Paris. The students will have a chance to make connections with other students from around the globe and collaborate with them to make music.
