COUNCIL TALK 02/2022 - The digital magazine of the World Choir Council

GÜNTER TITSCH, GERMANY
Dear colleagues, dear friends,
The last few months have been marked by confidence and hope that the
choral scenes of the world can return to normal after difficult months of
restrictions.
The choirs of the world have returned to the stages and we could hear
choirs singing again after months of silence and watch people following
their passion.
We are very happy that the events of INTERKULTUR 2022 took place and
we are very excited about what the events at the end of 2022 and especially
our two big events in 2023, the World Choir Games 2023 in Gangneung,
Republic of Korea and the European Choir Games and Grand Prix of
Nations 2023 in Norrköping, Sweden have in store for us and the choirs.
Furthermore, I am extremely happy that we can welcome new members
to the World Choir Council this year. I would like to express my gratitude
to all new members, also on behalf of the World Choir Council Board, for
accepting our invitation to become part of the World Choir Council. I am
confident that through your expertise, the World Choir Council will keep
growing and all members will be able to benefit from it.
The challenges of the world unfortunately remain with us in the coming
months, but together we will all work with passion and energy to ensure
that the challenges of the world are mastered, that choirs reclaim the
stages of the world, and that our motto „Singing together brings nations
together“ resounds around the globe.
In this context I wish you all the best, much strength and especially good
health.
Yours sincerely,
Günter Titsch
President INTERKULTUR, World Choir Games & World Choir Council
