Turn your choral dreams into reality (part 1)
4 ideas to update your choral bucket list this year
At the beginning of each new year, we always feel a burst of motivation to set goals, make new plans, and take on new habits and challenges.
This is a wonderful time to take advantage of this momentum and concretize our objectives.
If you are in a choir, you could also use this time and new-found energy to review your choral dreams and start thinking about how to make them a reality.

In this article, we will provide you with numerous ideas to update your Choral Bucket List or show you the ways you can make sure to tick the goals you have been having for a while!
We want to stimulate your imagination with fun ideas, inspire you to make the most out of the year ahead of you, and show you how to turn your dreams into life-long memories.

Come to New Zealand for the 13th World Choir Games!
In July 2024, the city of Auckland in New Zealand will be hosting the world’s largest international choir competition.
Although New Zealand has been made famous by being the scenographic land of The Hobbit, the country was long renowned for its manaakitanga – its culture of warm welcome and hospitality that will also be a hallmark of the 13th World Choir Games where visitors will be honored, supported and even uplifted.
Aotearoa New Zealand is a singing nation, with a thriving choir culture in every town and city. The country’s musical traditions reflect the rich diversity of its multicultural population and are woven through the fabric of New Zealand’s largest city, Auckland.
Join us at the World Choir Games 2024 and receive a warm welcome and an unforgettable cultural experience! In the spirit of manaakitanga you will be made to feel part of the New Zealand whānau – its family!

The home of the Norrköping Symphony Orchestra, with several venues located in the city’s old industrial landscape, will be the center of the European Choir Games 2023 where all choirs can meet, sing and celebrate together.
In 2025, the European Choir Games will be hosted in another Scandinavian country as they will take place in Århus, Denmark!
