I sincerely wel<strong>com</strong>e all the participating<br />
choirs around the world to visit Gyeongnam<br />
for World Choir Championships Korea <strong>2009</strong>.<br />
The 3.2 millions of nature loving people of<br />
Gyeongnam have prepared all the programs<br />
for the event with all their hearts and sincerity.<br />
During your stay, I hope you enjoy tasting<br />
the beauty of distinctive Korean cultures and<br />
its ingenuity along with prosperity of Korea‘s<br />
ever changing development.<br />
Music brings its power for transcending all<br />
the borders and nationality. In particular, voice<br />
rising from the understanding of different cultures<br />
would ring out throughout the world to<br />
create a moment full of peace, friendships,<br />
unity and reconciliation.<br />
I would like to express my appreciation to the<br />
authority of Gyeongnam province, Interkultur<br />
Foundation and the musicians in Korea.<br />
Even as a short stay for this event, I wish all<br />
of you can have Gyeongnam cherished and<br />
remembered within your hearts, which would<br />
last forever.<br />
Thank you.<br />
