Объединённый дружеский концерт
Впервые INTERKULTUR приглашает хоры и дирижёров принять участие в специальном проекте. В рамках дружеских концертов у хоров есть возможность отрепетировать и исполнить музыкальное произведение с дирижёром другого хора (желательно из другой страны). Такой обмен буквально олицетворит наш девиз "Совместное пение объединяет народы".
Наш художественный комитет выберет хоры для объединённого дружеского концерта и заранее оповестит хоры об этом.
Все заинтересованные хоры могут зарегистрироваться на объединённый дружеский концерт, написав нам о своём желании.
Стандартный дружеский концерт
У хоров есть возможность подать заявку на общие выступления с другими хорами из разных стран. Просьба подготовить программу примерно на 20 минут, которая должна быть предварительно одобрена художественным комитетом. Концертная программа должна исполняться преимущественно а-капелла или со своими инструментами.
"We all want to give thanks to you and everyone from INTERKULTUR, everything about the event was full of joy and cheerful adventures."

She studied composition at Latvian State Conservatory. Since 1985 she has been lecturer at Latvian Academy of Music, currently a professor and head of the Composition Department. Mence’s choral music has been performed by the The Latvian Radio Choir, the State Choir Latvija, at Latvian National Song Festivals as well as various festivals outside Latvia. Many choirs performing her works have taken victory titles in international competitions.
Selga Mence’s vivid emotions, lively musical images, admiration for Latvian folk songs and their traditional and firm ethos find their expression in choir songs. Popular Latvian folk melodies and texts (often blurring the boundaries between folksong arrangements and original music) are related to the national romantic tradition but are developed through contemporary compositional techniques. The compositions of Selga Mence explore sonorities and improvisation games characteristic to the aleatoric technique. Melodic material as one the most important facets of her music is purposefully and logically developed to set the work alight.

Grado, also called Sunny Island or Golden Island, is located at the northern corner of the Adriatic Sea and blazes with Venetian flair. Only a small strip of ground connects the island with the mainland. The historic city center is shaped by small squares, narrow alleys and aligned scenic fisher huts. Numerous canals and maze-like situated isles make it easy to fall in love with the beautiful spots of the city and its inimitable character.
Competition Results
We congratulate all singers to their great results! All in all 23 golden, 19 silver and 2 bronze diplomas were awarded. Many thanks to all choirs and ensembles for participating!
