Gérardmer Singing Week returns from 15 to 22 August 2026 for its second edition. The course takes place at Espace L.A.C. with five French and Québécois choir leaders. Les Voix du Lac welcomes beginners and experienced singers, subject to registration.
We checked this page on 14 July against the organiser, town hall and booking page. The official programme confirms the activities offered, but does not establish that the final aubade is open to the public.
Confirmed dates and venue
The town event listing places the event from Saturday 15 August at 10 am to Saturday 22 August at 5 pm, at Espace L.A.C., 17 faubourg de Ramberchamp in Gérardmer. Les Voix du Lac gives the same dates and venue.
This is a full-week course, not a single concert. Before booking accommodation, confirm that your registration is accepted and read the instructions sent to participants.
Who is it for?
The organiser announces five choir leaders and original harmonies. The format is open to people who want to sing, from beginners to regular choir members. The town listing describes vocal workshops, friendly rehearsals, themed evenings and a final aubade bringing all participants together.
The information sent to registered participants remains the reference for the week’s detailed schedule. The final aubade is part of the announced programme, but the official source does not say that it is open to the public, so we do not advertise it as a public concert.
