Nearly 50 choirs from 15 European countries will take part at the 4th International Choir Festival being held in Ohrid between August 25-29.

Each of the choirs will have to perform twice at the Ohrid festival - once outdoors and the second time at an event where all of them will compete for top prizes.

Choirs divided into three categories - children's, youth and adult - are to be ranked by an expert jury. The top choirs will perform at a closing concert of the festival to compete for its main accolade.

Choirs will be also given a chance to perform church, folk or pop music.
