Sing’n’Joy <strong>Provo</strong> <strong>2016</strong>, has officially begun.<br />
The Brigham Young University School of<br />
Music is delighted to host the <strong>2016</strong> INTER-<br />
KULTUR festival, Sing’n’Joy. We welcome<br />
you to the BYU campus, situated in the<br />
foothills of the magnificent Rocky Mountains.<br />
Utah is home to the Mighty Five National<br />
parks, which are visited by millions of<br />
visitors from around the world each year.<br />
But more importantly, Utah has a tradition<br />
of deep appreciation for the fine arts, and<br />
especially for the art of choral singing.<br />
We are pleased to share our campus with<br />
the INTERKULTUR festival. We express our<br />
warm appreciation for the choirs who will<br />
participate, and wish to extend a special<br />
welcome to our international choir from<br />
Estonia.<br />
The world class adjudicators for this event<br />
come from across the globe:<br />
Professor Jan Schumacher, Germany; Professor<br />
Maria Guinand, Venezuela; and Dr.<br />
Ronald Staheli, USA, together with an excellent<br />
guest conductor, Fred Sjöberg, Sweden.<br />
We welcome them to our campus and<br />
express our appreciation for the contributions<br />
they will make to the festival.<br />
I would like to express appreciation to the<br />
organizers, coordinators, and all of the participants<br />
for their hard work in staging this<br />
wonderful event. And to each of the choirs<br />
who have prepared to participate, I wish<br />
you a wonderful experience, one that you<br />
will cherish for the music performed, the artistry<br />
shared, and the new friendships that<br />
will develop.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
