On the evening of Friday, June 5, 2026, under the illuminated arcades of Bab Al Makina, the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music presented a unique choral creation titled 'Hymns, Voices of Women from East and West' (Hymnes, voix de femmes d’Orient et d’Occident). The performance brought together female voices from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds to reinterpret sacred music.
The event featured a women's choir that blended Eastern and Western musical traditions, with pieces drawing from Christian, Islamic, and Jewish liturgical repertoires. According to festival organizers, the project aimed to highlight the role of women in sacred music and promote interfaith dialogue through artistic expression.
This year's edition of the Fes Festival, which runs from June 2 to June 10, 2026, has focused on themes of peace and cultural exchange. The 'Hymns' creation was developed over several months of rehearsals involving local and international singers.
No further verified details about the specific composers or individual performers were available at the time of reporting. The festival continues through June 10 with additional concerts and events.
