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