… Connecting Bridges<br />

The first INTERKULTUR International Choir Competition in Budapest, held in 1988, was the start of<br />

one of the largest and most successful series of cultural events in Europe. The INTERKULTUR Event<br />

Series has meanwhile become known throughout the world for its high artistic and organizational<br />

standards and as a concept for the choirs and choir enthusiasts worldwide. These events are organized<br />

by INTERKULTUR, a non-profit organization based in Germany.<br />

INTERKULTUR´s biggest success to date was to bring the antique Olympic idea to the choral community.<br />

The Choir Olympics 2000 in Linz, Austria was the beginning of a Choir Olympic movement, with<br />

subsequent events in Busan, Republic of Korea in 2002, and Bremen, Germany in 2004. This success<br />

continued under the name “World Choir Games” in Xiamen, China in 2006, Graz, Austria in 2008,<br />

Shaoxing, China in 2010, and Cincinnati, USA in 2012. In 2014, the World Choir Games were held in<br />

Riga, Latvia and marked the biggest event in the history of the choir Olympic idea attracting 27,000<br />

participants. In July 2016, 283 choirs from 76 nations were guests in the Olympic city of Sochi in Russia<br />

for the 9 th World Choir Games. The 10 th anniversary edition of the World Choir Games in 2018 will<br />

happen on the African continent for the first time: in Tshwane in South Africa.
