6th Vietnam International Choir Competition
A unique choir competition in fascinating Vietnam
Vietnam is steadily rising as one of the top tourist attractions in the world and also its first-ever international choir competition enjoys great popularity since 2011.
The Vietnam International Choir Competition biannually brings together choirs from the whole world for a combined experience of choral competitions, Friendship Concerts, Evaluation Performances and Individual Coachings – all in the breathtaking setting of ancient Vietnam: The well preserved Old Town of the host city Hội An has been declared a UNESCO Heritage Site in 1999.
The event has got a tremendously positive response from the recently invented activity – the Choir Party & Hoi An Legendary Night. In this magical night choirs get together to sing and dance, lanterns are lightened throughout the city and local food is served.
In recent years the event has turned into a exceptional highlight in INTERKULTUR’s choral event calendar: A true celebration of the joy of music, singing and getting together surrounded by Vietnam’s special enchanting atmosphere.

Destination
The historic coastal city of Hội An (translated as „peaceful meeting place“) is located directly at the South-Chinese Sea in Central Vietnam and surrounded picturesquely by paddy fields. Hội An was once the biggest port in South-East Asia and represented one of the most important harbours of the Silk Road. Already during the 4th century merchants from Arabia, Persia, India and China moored here.
The beautiful old town of Hội An was announced World Cultural Heritage in 1999 by the UNESCO and represents a well-preserved example of a Southeast-Asian trading port during the 15th up to the 19th century. Until now the old merchant homes can still be found on the banks of the Thu-Bon River and throughout the placid alleys. Visitors discover in every corner charming taverns, galleries and of course the typical colorful lantern shops and also temples, pagodas and prayer shrines. Vietnamese traditions mingle in Hội An with Japanese and Chinese elements – a sign of deeply rooted historical connections. Surrounded by all the original buildings, bridges and streets, time seems to have stopped. And nevertheless one is constantly surrounded by the lively Vietnamese everyday life with all its traditions and cultural activities – a fascinating experience!
Hội An is one of the most beautiful and charming destinations you can visit in Asia. In 2015 Hội An was chosen on rank 7 of the Top 25 Destinations in Asia (TripAdvisor).
The venues are located directly at the beach, which is part of the more than 120 km long coast of the Quang Nam province – the ideal place for refreshment in the cool sea after sudatory choral competitions!
By the way: During the event the famous Full Moon festival will also take place in Hội An. On this occasion all electric lights throughout the whole city are being switched off and the city is being illuminated by numerous candles and lanterns. On this evening Hội An is inspired by an emotional and nearly magical atmosphere!
