… <strong>Wernigerode</strong> zwar eine bedeutende Chortradition hat, aber in der internationalen Chorwelt<br />
überhaupt nicht bekannt war. Um die bunte Stadt am Harz in dieser Szene ins Spiel<br />
zu bringen, haben die Gründer einen der bekanntesten deutschen Komponisten, eben Johannes<br />
Brahms als Namenspatron ausgewählt. Mittlerweise ist er untrennbar mit <strong>Wernigerode</strong><br />
verbunden, sodass viele annehmen, er habe etwas mit der Stadt zu tun.<br />
Das ist aber nicht der Fall. / <strong>Wernigerode</strong> has a distinguished choral tradition<br />
but was little-known throughout the international choir community. In order<br />
to boost the popularity of the colorful city in the Harz region the organizers<br />
of the event decided to name the festival after one of the most wellknown<br />
German composers, Johannes Brahms. Meanwhile his name<br />
is inseparably linked to <strong>Wernigerode</strong>, so that many people assume<br />
that he had ties to this city. But this is not the case.
