April 30 - May 4, 2014 | Venice, Italy

After a series of successful "Venezia in Musica" festivals, the organizers are pleased to invite you to the 12th Venezia in Musica 2014 – International Choir Competition & Festival.

This INTERKULTUR event combines the joys of an international choral competition with the outstanding facilities for concerts in one of the leading musical metropolises. The churches and campi (squares) of the lagoon city reflect its centuries-old tradition of music. They bear testimony to the high culture of singing and playing music in one of the world's most beautiful cities.

The international choir competition with its broad range of categories for different standards, types of choirs and musical genres offers every choir the opportunity to present its current qualities on the international stage. The competition will be held in Caorle, the city which is often called “Little Venice” due to the small alleys, its bell towers and the houses that are painted in the typical Venetian colors.

Already Ernest Hemingway got inspired by the city and in German-speaking countries the city became famous through Heinz Erhardt’s travels there.

The cathedral with its cylindric bell tower that was built in the 11th century will be one of the competition venues of the event.

At the same time, all choirs will have the unforgettable experience of giving concerts with other choirs in the world-famous churches and campi of Venice. The event has been consciously designed to combine competitions and concerts in harmony.

We cordially invite choirs of all kinds to join us in April-May 2014, as we celebrate a great festival of choral music in Venice and Caorle.

Welcome to VENEZIA IN MUSICA!
