Eurovision Choir 2019 was the second Eurovision Choir competition for choral singers, organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and Interkultur. It was held on 3 August 2019, at the Partille Arena, in Partille Municipality, Metropolitan Gothenburg, Sweden. The event, presented by Petroc Trelawny and Ella Petersson, was produced by Swedish host broadcaster Sveriges Television (SVT) together with an international team of EBU members, the European Choir Games and the City of Gothenburg.

Ten countries participated, including debutants Norway, Scotland, Switzerland and the hosts Sweden while Austria,Estonia and Hungary decided to withdraw. Three of the ten choirs advanced to the second round: Latvia, Denmark and Slovenia, all of which took part in the inaugural edition in 2017. Vocal Line of Denmark won the contest, with Latvia and Slovenia placing second and third respectively.

Location

After initial reports in February 2018, it was confirmed on 8 July 2018 that the second edition of the Eurovision Choir would be held in the Swedish city of Gothenburg. The proposed venue was the 14,000-seat Scandinavium arena. However, on 18 December 2018, it was confirmed that Partille Arena would host the competition.

Format

Competing countries who are members of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) are eligible to participate in Eurovision Choir. Ten countries participated at the second edition of the contest. Each competing country was represented by a professional choir, and in the first round each performed a choral piece lasting no more than four minutes in length. Each piece may include singular or several musical works or of a free genre; but must contain national or regional influence from the participating country. Three choirs are invited to perform a second, 3 minute set after which the winner is announced.

The winning choir were presented with a trophy and awarded with a trip to attend the 11th edition of the World Choir Games held in Flanders, Belgium in July 2020.

Performances

The show opened with a performance by twenty one choirs from across Västra Götaland County, and all ten participating choirs performed "Mamma Mia" by ABBA during the flag parade. For the two intervals, the mass choir performed "Without You" by Avicii with Madelene Johansson after the first round, followed by 2017 winners Carmen Manet performing alongside Bohuslän Big Band after the second. At the end of the show all the choirs performed two further ABBA songs, "Dancing Queen" and "Thank You for the Music" both with Johansson.
