Beirut returns, as it does each year, both a destination and a sanctuary -- a place where the prayer of calling meets the call of prayer, where beauty is not only sung but becomes itself a song. Voices rise in devotion, and instruments spill melodies like candles casting their glow across the eighteenth edition of the Beirut Chants Festival.

Over the years, Beirut Chants has grown into a welcoming home for distinguished choirs and musicians from around the world, while celebrating the steadfast and radiant presence of Lebanese artists.
