CHORAL SEASON 2016 / 2017

3
A CHORAL SEASON FULL OF
PREMIERES AND TRADITIONS
Dear friends and choral lovers,
Since 1988 we have been trying to bring you
the very best of choral music traditions, novelties
and opportunities. Our efforts have
been an ongoing investment to foster unity,
inspire change and bring a new viewpoint on
the choral world. The 2016 and 2017 choral
years will be packed with everything that delights
your mind and soul.
Starting off with the brand new ON STAGE
series, 2016 will lay ahead opportunities for
new top destinations, genre experimentation
and some fun away from the competition
schedule. Top world attractions like Paris,
Prag, Barcelona and the like will shed a whole
new light on the idea of choral singing. No
categories, no jury, no competitive air – this
time we sing for the people, for the joy of singing,
the joy of life.
Competitions bear, however, our quality seal
and a big part of our efforts goes to further
improve and extend the network for those
wishing to reach us. In 2016 we are setting
foot in two great American destinations, Provo/Salt
Lake City, Utah, and Monterey, California,
and to a new Asian exotic spot, Chiang
Mai, Thailand. We cannot wait to experience
again that beautiful wave of enthusiasm and
support we witnessed in Cincinnati and are
eager to explore the mystic land of Thailand.
I bet, you too!
But our path to success is paved also with the
traditions we have strived to build and perfect
with each passing year. The bell of the
World Choir Games tolls every two years to
remind us of such a powerful tradition. Following
Riga’s spectacular Games, choirs from
all corners of the world look forward to another
huge gathering of international choral
excellence in 2016 in Sochi, Russia.
What better way to unite the world than
through music? AND through friends we
make along the way. Since the very beginning
of INTERKULTUR activities, two choirs,
the Gesangverein „Harmonie“ 1906 Watzenborn-Steinberg
e.V. and the Gesangverein
Sängerkranz 1876 Watzenborn-Steinberg
e.V. , just a few steps from our office, have
been part of our events. In June, they together
celebrate 250 years of choral tradition
in the Pohlheim Choir Festival and we
are proud to share a part of this celebration
with you. Join the Party and meet the INTER-
KULTUR Team on their summer party bevor
heading to Sochi for the magic of the World
Choir Games.
An exciting choral season awaits. Let’s all
make beautiful memories out of it!

COMMITTED TO QUALITY AND INNOVATION
The preview of our INTERKULTUR events gives
you a good insight into the variety of projects
which will be presented to the choirs,
singers and choral conductors all over the
world in the upcoming months.
Our choral season focuses mostly on choir
competitions and festivals, which take place
in traditional venues, such as Vienna, Bad
Ischl, Grado, Calella, as well as in the US, now
under a new concept and in four different cities
(Provo, Monterey, Princeton and Miami),
and for the first time in Thailand. In particular,
we look forward to a Grand Prix event at
the Berlin Philharmonic Hall and to the 3 rd
European Choir Games & Grand Prix of Nations
2017 in Riga, the city that was already
a sensational host to the 8 th World Choir Games.
INTERKULTUR has evolved tremendously
in the last years. Our invitation goes to all
choirs in the world, regardless of the artistic
level they have, to make use of the individually
tailored program we are going to offer.
We can proudly say that the level of the
choirs has greatly improved in every aspect,
making our events a top destination for the
best choirs of the world. Our events are a
warm welcome of their talent and a tough
challenge for their competitive spirits with
intense performances and busy schedules.
And this is how it should go on.
This year our program has become even
more diverse.
Whether it is the “ON STAGE” events, the
World Choir Games, workshops, singing together
or sing along concerts, all the possibilities
of making music and learning from
each other have gotten a high priority. We
look forward to working with this year‘s
“composer in residence”, the English composer
John Rutter in Sochi.
You, dear interested choirs, can decide on
your own on the dimensions of your participation.
Make your program according to
your own interests or combine the various
possibilities our events offer. Our professional
staff will help you to find your place in
the INTERKULTUR family.
We are aware that our INTERKULTUR events
may not have any direct impact on political
developments. Nevertheless, we are deeply
convinced that the reciprocal knowledge
and mutual understanding are key drivers
for a peaceful merger of nations. You cannot
make music against each other; you can
make music only for each other. “Singing
together brings nations together” has been
our slogan from the very beginning and we
want people to feel it in their hearts and
minds. The quality of our events revolves
around this central idea and it is to it that
we have devoted our many years of experience
and enthusiasm for the choral music.
