Тhe second edition of the International Choir Festival "Acad. Petko Staynov" was held on 30 June and 1 July in the Ceremonial hall of Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski".

Four foreign and four Bulgarian choirs took part to the this year's event. Some of the them have included in their program  the performance of one or several works by Petko Staynov. The rest have chosen to study a work by the famous composer within the creative workshops organized in the framework of the Festival.
