8th International Johannes Brahms Choir Festival and Competition

July 17 - 21, 2013 Wernigerode, Germany

Singing in the colourful city in the Harz mountain range

Since 1999 the International Johannes Brahms Choir Competition and Festival is a crowd puller for choirs and music ensembles from all over the world. The colourful city in the Harz mountain range attracts visitors with its unique charm of medieval architecture and moreover with its musical characteristics: Three renowned German choirs come from this small town. Furthermore this competition, named after Johannes Brahms, puts a musical focus on this German composer and the German romantics of the 19th century.

Numerous advanced trainings offer interested choirs outstanding possibilities of mutual learning and professional training e.g. with evaluation performances and individual coaching. Apart from pedagogical offers further concerts will take place downtown and in the surroundings of Wernigerode.
