INTERKULTUR Choir Competitions and Festivals

The INTERKULTUR events are choral competitions and festivals. Choirs may take part in the events with or without participating in the contests. Our aim is to grant the possibility of international competition not only to choirs which already belong to the elite of their country’s amateur music scene, but to all choral groups so that they have the opportunity to compare themselves with others. Sing along with people who think alike and share the same musical level of achievement.

The exchange with other choirs is the most important aspect of the festival participation (without competition participation). Together with other choirs, you perform in encounter concerts; you become acquainted to others and experience the whole variety of choral singing. We recommend visiting the competition performances as well as the impressive opening and closing ceremonies with your choir. In addition, at some of our festivals you can also take part in consultation sessions: make use of the expert knowledge of the competition jurors at presentations of your choir from which the public is excluded. In this way you will get an insight into your current international standard and will be well-prepared for possible future participation in a competition. Alternatively, we can also arrange for a special rehearsal with an internationally renowned choir conductor.
