Deutsche Chormeisterschaft 2020
A prelude for the German Choir Championships 2021
New impulses for the German choral scene, a new competition concept, enthusiasm for choirs and audience alike: The German Choir Championships have moved a lot in recent months and the anticipation was great. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has also severely limited the premiere of this new series of events. But the choir year 2020 should not end quietly and silently!
In accordance with the recommendations of the Federal Government as well as the regulations of the federal states and cities, in which the participating choirs are currently only able to rehearse to a very limited extent, the event concept had to be adapted, but we are happy to be able to give the choir music a stage in Koblenz in November.

On November 8th, the German Choir Championships will start with an opening event - a gala concert - organized jointly by the Vokalensemble amarcord and the Landesjugendchor Hessen. This highlight will be followed, as soon as the development of the pandemic makes it possible, by a series of exclusive qualification and advisory events "Jury-On-Tour" for the German choral scene in various German states, which will bring together choirs from all over Germany for the German Choral Championships 2021 on November 5-7, 2021 in Koblenz!
Greeting
With the gala concert for the German Choir Championships 2021, to be held before the end of this year, we want to set an example and conclude 2020 with a resounding voice. The international choral scene in particular is currently hard hit by the pandemic, and in many places the music has fallen silent. But we want to show that we listen to the choirs and share with them the hope for a better year 2021.

Destination
The ‘German Corner’ with its emperor, the Electoral Palace, kilometres of waterfront promenades, Stolzenfels Castle, the epitome of Rhine romance and the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress overlooking the city. The spectacular cable car over the Rhine, the wine village, the Forum Confluentes... And much more: Koblenz is not only one of Germany’s oldest cities but also one of the most diverse.
Churches, castles, palaces and historic town houses tell the story of past times, while winding streets and squares invite you to stroll around and relax. The vineyards and Ehrenbreitstein Fortress also provide incomparable views over the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, keeping the romance of the Rhine alive.
