A Unique Idea
World Choir
Games
The World Choir Games were founded on the Olympic ideals, aiming to
peacefully unify singing people and nations connected by song in a
fair competition. This idea inspires people to experience the strength
of interaction which is able to overcome differences in personality
and community through the power of song. This ideal permeates this
event, regardless of artistic level, whether singing for pleasure or a
professional level musician. The World Choir Games are an international
choir festival taking place every two years on different continents.
This idea of the World Choir Games is experienced by millions of
people throughout the whole world who sing in choirs daily passing on
human ideals through song. The idea is instrumental in helping people
overcome conflicts and offering an example of peace and unity. Choirs
from all over the world will come together to the World Choir Games,
in order to contribute to understanding and peace among nations. All
participants celebrate this amazing festival of music, as music is the
common language of the world!
