X Intensive Choral Conducting Seminar – ACDA Costa Rica | February 9–13, 2026
When we sing together
From February 9 to 13 2026, Costa Rica will become a meeting point for centuries of choral wisdom, modern technique, and the emotional power of collective voice.
The X Intensive Choral Conducting Seminar of ACDA Costa Rica will welcome a very special guest: the Star Bright Choir of Shenzhen, under the direction of Dr. Chen Guanghui — one of the most respected figures in contemporary Chinese choral education.
At Forest Melodies Costa Rica, we are deeply proud to be official sponsors of this visit and to support the arrival of this extraordinary ensemble to our country.
More than a seminar — a cultural encounter
This is not only a week of training.
It is a living exchange of traditions.
Chinese choral culture carries thousands of years of philosophy where:
- Breath is connected to energy
- Sound is connected to balance
- And music is connected to the soul
Through rehearsals, masterclasses, and performances, Costa Rican and international conductors will experience a way of singing where technique and beauty are inseparable.
Why Forest Melodies supports this experience
At Forest Melodies, we believe choral music is not only art — it is wellbeing, connection, and continuity.
By supporting the presence of Star Bright Choir and Dr. Chen Guanghui, we are investing in:
- The growth of conductors
- The inspiration of singers
- And the preservation of choral culture as a force for emotional and social health
This is exactly the kind of exchange that keeps the choral world alive.
A week to learn, to feel, and to be transformed
Participants will not only leave with better technique.
They will leave with:
- New artistic perspectives
- Deeper emotional connection to music
- And a renewed sense of purpose as choral leaders
This is what happens when cultures sing together.
We are honored to be part of this story
Forest Melodies Costa Rica is proud to walk alongside ACDA Costa Rica, Star Bright Choir, and Dr. Chen Guanghui in making this historic week possible.
We invite the global choral community to follow, celebrate, and be inspired.
