Registration Information

Dear Singers!

Registration is now open. Before you click on the registration button below, please read through the following information carefully in order to help you make the right choices.

General Info:

Although we will do our best to meet your individual needs and wishes, we only have a very limited number of single and double rooms available. We ask you to pick a single room only if you medically require one. Double rooms will be given to married couples first. The remaining rooms are 4-bed rooms with an ensuite bathroom. Please provide us with the names of the friends you want to share a room with. Bedding is provided, however you will need to bring your own towels.

Prices per Person (Room, Board and Participation fee)
Single Room: 650€
Double Room: 600€
4-bed Room: 550€
No room / own lodging: 325€ (Food and Participation fee)

After filling out the online form, we will send you our payment information per email. Only when we have received your payment in full, will you be registered for the festival.

The Youth Hostel provides us with buffet-style meals. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, as well as gluten-free meals. If you have other allergies, you will need to list those on the registration form. The first meal will be dinner on Wednesday evening and the last meal is a lunch packet (you prepare it yourself) for Sunday afternoon.

Our program consists of 4 practices every day (Th-Sa), with a variety show on Saturday evening. We will be looking back at the 25-year-history of the Stimmen Bahás and would like to have you participate as well. Perhaps you want to sing for us or perform in some other way. Naturally, the highlight of this extended weekend will be the two musical devotionals. These are taking place at the European House of Worship in Langenhain at 11:00 am and 3:00 pm.

Good to know:

• The minimum number of participants is 85. The maximum number of participants is 120.
• You are responsible for your own transportation to the Youth Hostel and the train station or airport.
• Contact information for taxis and shuttle services will be provided.
• Singers must wear all black clothing for the devotionals. A golden scarf will be added to your outfit before the performance.
• The devotionals will last about one hour. The choir will be standing on platforms in the front of the House of Worship during the whole performance. If you cannot stand for that amount of time, a chair can be provided for you.
• Unfortunately, this event is not 100% wheelchair accessible.
• We will be singing in several different languages including English, German, etc. Registered participants will receive the notes and “teach-me-tracks” about two months before rehearsals begin.
• There are no visits to the House of Worship planned before Sunday. If you wish to spend time there, you will need to make your own arrangements outside of rehearsals (e.g. after dinner).
• You may want to have travel insurance. Cancellations after April 10th, 2026 cannot be reimbursed.

We are looking forward to seeing you all in May 2026. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you might still have.
