LET'S MEET IN ST. LOUIS!<br />
ons close to the convergence<br />
of the Missouri, Mississippi,<br />
and Illinois Rivers. This is still<br />
being symbolized by the<br />
city’s landmark, the Arch, as<br />
the “Gateway to the West.”<br />
At the beginning of the 20 th<br />
century St. Louis became<br />
internationally well known<br />
In the early history of<br />
America, St. Louis, Missouri<br />
was the starting point for<br />
the colonization of the “Wild<br />
West” because of its locatibecause<br />
of the World<br />
Exposition and as the first<br />
English-speaking venue<br />
for the Olympic Games.<br />
Numerous houses and<br />
buildings in the city <strong>com</strong>memorate<br />
this era.<br />
IN ST. LOUIS – MUSIC HISTORY FIRST HAND<br />
Together with New Orleans<br />
and Memphis, St. Louis also<br />
gained a reputation in the<br />
world as “America’s Music<br />
Corridor”. Who doesn’t know<br />
the “St. Louis Blues” by Scott<br />
Joplin? No matter if it is<br />
blues, ragtime, jazz, classic<br />
or rap? St. Louis makes it<br />
possible to experience music<br />
history first hand. This<br />
history is being continued<br />
in 2010 with “The American<br />
International Choral Festival”.<br />
INTERKULTUR, well-known<br />
worldwide as the organizer<br />
of the World Choir Games,<br />
organizes this unique festival<br />
of choir music together<br />
with St. Louis and in cooperation<br />
with the American<br />
Choral Directors Association.
