For the first time in its history, the renowned Chœur des Petits Chanteurs de Monaco will perform in Cambodia next July. Under the patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco, the choir's Southeast Asia tour will include three charity concerts in Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Phnom Penh, combining music, philanthropy, and cultural exchange in an unprecedented celebration.

Voices of Hope: Music in the Service of a Mission
This debut in Cambodia is much more than just a musical event; it is a gesture of sincere solidarity. All proceeds from the concerts will be donated to the Kantha Bopha Foundation, a vital institution that provides free, high-quality pediatric care to children throughout Cambodia. By lending their voices, the Petits Chanteurs de Monaco hope to bring hope and comfort to the youngest and most vulnerable members of the country.
A musical odyssey through three cities
The Cambodian public will have the privilege of enjoying three evenings of music:
Siem Reap – July 19, 6:00 p.m., Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort
Sihanoukville – July 21, 6:00 p.m., Novotel Sihanoukville Holiday Resort
Phnom Penh – July 23, 6:30 p.m., Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra
Each performance promises a beautiful evening of sacred music and classical masterpieces, highlighted by a moving tribute to Prince Rainier III, founder of the choir in 1974, on the centenary of his birth. The choir will perform “Le Campanile de Saint-Nicolas,” a work much loved by the late prince, so that his legacy may resonate through every note.
Bringing cultures together: artistic collaborations
The concerts will be further enriched by collaborations with Cambodia's finest artistic groups:
The Sacred Dancers of Angkor in Siem Reap
The Sakara Traditional Khmer Performance Youth Group in Sihanoukville
The Princess Buppha Devi Dance School in Phnom Penh
These partnerships, along with the support of organizations such as Mengly J. Quach Education, Don Bosco Cambodia, and the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Cambodia, underscore a shared commitment to cultural dialogue and community development.
Inspiring the next generation
This visit is organized in association with All Dreams Cambodia, echoing the ambitions of the “Sing to Lead: Cambodian Choir Conductors on the Road to the Royal Choral Award 2027” campaign. This initiative aims to revitalize Cambodia's choral traditions through training, concerts, and intercultural exchanges, sowing the seeds for a vibrant future for the country's musical landscape.
Hospitality in the spirit of humanity
The tour is hosted by three Accor hotels, the Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra, the Novotel Sihanoukville Holiday Resort, and the Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra, reflecting Accor's long-standing commitment to cultural preservation, responsible hospitality, and community improvement throughout the region.
Accessible to all
Tickets are priced at $30, with free admission for students and children under 18, so that the magic of music is accessible to families and young people. Donations are welcome to further support this cause.
