X Festival de Coros y Certamen Internacional Johannes Brahms
Cantando en la colorida ciudad de la región de Harz
Desde 1999 el Festival de Coros y Certamen Internacional Johannes Brahms es un imán de público para coros y grupos musicales de todo el mundo. Esta colorida ciudad de la región de Harz sorprende no solo por el inigualable encanto de su arquitectura medieval, sino también por su carácter musical, puesto que es la cuna de tres de los coros más famosos de Alemania. La competición está dedicada al patrón que le da nombre, Johannes Brahms, y a los compositores románticos alemanes del siglo XIX.
La amplia oferta de formación da a los coros interesados la oportunidad de aprender los unos de los otros, así como de recibir una formación especializada en forma de conciertos evaluables y ensayos con reconocidos especialistas corales internacionales.
Se celebrarán además otros conciertos en el centro urbano de Wernigerode y en localidades cercanas de Harz.
Con motivo del X aniversario del Festival de Coros y Certamen internacional Johannes Brahms, la ciudad de Wernigerode e INTERKULTUR han preparado algunas sorpresas que, junto con los momentos más importantes (desfile de coros, concierto benéfico en la catedral de Halberstadt y concierto de clausura) pondrán la guinda al pastel del evento.

Church St. Sylvestri
Address: Oberpfarrkirchhof 12, 38855 Wernigerode
The foundation of the church St. Sylvestrikirche on the Klint (oldest part of Wernigerode) dates back to the intensive missionary work of the Benedictines of the monastery Corvey/Weser.
Nothing is left from this first small church. But the pillars from the following crosswise, three-naved and Romanic building (around 1100) are still standing inside the church. The last major architectural changes were done from 1880-1886, when the neo-Gothic tower was built. The former Romanic flat slab was reinstalled due to static reasons and nowadays keeps the acoustics in good stead during concerts.
The church features many extraordinary works of art and commodities, e.g. two bells from 1297 and 1500, epitaphs from five centuries, textiles (from 1520 on), an oak wardrobe (13. Jh.), a Baroque organ from 1790. The Gothic altar (Brussels 1480) and its crucifix (around 1300) also attract the attention of the visitors. The church invites to pause for peace and meditation but also to Sunday masses and weekly concerts in summer and is very popular for weddings.

Market Square Wernigerode
The marketplace in Wernigerode with its town hall and the timber frame buildings is a must-see for every visitor of the Harz. The town hall was originally being erected as a "Spelhus" and served as a court as well as a place for public entertainment for dance, juggler events and wedding festivities. Today it is the office building of the municipality Wernigerode. On the marketplace in front of the town hall the Wohltäterbrunnen (benefactor well) is being situated. The well, which was casted in 1848 by the iron foundry Ilsenburg, shall remind the citizens of all people who rendered outstanding services for the welfare of Wernigerode. In 1991 e.g. the city installed a plaque for colonel Gustav Petri, who saved the city of Wernigerode in 1945 of being destroyed with his brave intervention. During the competition friendship concerts will be taking place on the market place.

Cathedral Halberstadt
Address: Domplatz 16A, 38820 Halberstadt
Since over 1.200 years the St. Stephanus and St. Sixtus Dome is the spiritual centre of the city and the whole region. Fascinating works of art document its eventful history. The cathedral, which is nowadays open to the public, was erected between 1236 and 1486 according to the example of French cathedrals. 290 Medieval glass paintings glow in the windows of the presbytery. The most significant element is the monumental triumphal cross group, originating from about 1210 and representing a masterpiece of medieval carvers.
