Günter Titsch
President of INTERKULTUR
Dear friends of choral music!
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the 2 nd Hull International Choir
Competition, following the successful launch in 2023.
It's wonderful to be back in Hull! This vibrant city, located on the banks of the Humber
Estuary is known for its rich maritime history, cultural heritage and for its friendly
community. As we gather here for the 2 nd Hull International Choir Competition, we are
reminded of the city's welcoming spirit and its dedication to the arts.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to our partners from the Kingston upon Hull City Council
for their invaluable support, dedication and excellent cooperation, which is crucial for the
successful realisation of this event.
This year, we are excited to host 24 choirs participating in competitions and concerts,
along with fantastic workshops led by our esteemed international jury. Together, we will
transform Hull again into a vibrant, singing city for these days, filled with the joy and
harmony of choral music.
But participating in this event is not just about the music: it’s also about the connections
we make and the friendships we forge along the way. So may this festival be a wonderful
opportunity for you to share your passion for choral music, learn from one another, and
create lasting memories.
Enjoy every moment!
Yours,
Günter Titsch

About Hull
Welcome to Hull, perfectly situated on the East Coast of England, with beautiful historical buildings,
lively entertainment, bustling shops, traditional pubs and tasty restaurants, Yorkshire’s
only waterfront city is a delight waiting to be explored.
The Old Town sits rightly at the top of every Hull visitor’s must-see list.
Its buildings and cobbled streets are a beautifully preserved testament to the city’s historic past
and are also where you’ll find Hull’s collection of free museums and galleries. Embark on a
whistle stop tour of transport through the ages at the Streetlife Museum or visit a woolly mammoth
at Hull & East Riding Museum. The glorious Ferens Art Gallery is the longest-established
art gallery in the city and boasts one of the leading collections in the North of England or, if
modern art is more your thing, take a visit to Humber Street Gallery in the old Fruit Market. The
Fruit Market is also home to a fantastic selection of restaurants, bars and independent shops all
sat alongside Hull’s stunning marina.

15
Take a journey to The Deep, one of the most spectacular aquariums in the world. Meet over
5,000 animals, including loggerhead turtles, zebra sharks and a colony of penguins!
If you are looking for some retail therapy, Hull is a hot spot for independent retailers, with a
range of shops dotted across the city for you to discover. Pop into the Grade II listed Hepworth’s
Arcade - built in 1898 - this little gem takes you back in time, with vintage/retro clothes shop
Beasley’s, gifts from Roisin Dubh and the brilliant, never-fails-to-bring-a-laugh joke shop,
Dinsdale’s or browse the traders in Hull’s Trinity Market where you’ll find lots of treats to take
home with you. In addition Hull has three shopping centres full of high street favourites.
So what are you waiting for? Our city is waiting to say hello.

ABOUT INTERKULTUR

… Connecting bridges.
More than 35 years of success: Since 1988 INTERKULTUR, founded by Günter Titsch, is the
world’s leading organiser of international choir competitions and festivals. The event series
has meanwhile become known throughout the world for its high artistic and organisational
standards. INTERKULTUR is a concept for choirs all over the world and their excitement about
its competitions and festivals is constantly growing.
Since more than 35 years singers and choirs from all over the world have been celebrating
international choral music with INTERKULTUR in different cities and on different continents.
Whether the Palau de la Música in Barcelona or the Konzerthaus Liebfrauen Wernigerode,
whether dream destinations in Europea or Asia; wherever they go, participants will experience
a peaceful, world-spanning festival of singing and intercultural choral music on a high artistic
level. Friendship Concerts and joint singing events complete the great emotional impact of
INTERKULTUR’s international choral meetings.
INTERKULTUR unites nations. In 2004 and 2006 – following long negotiations – the organisation
was able to bring choirs from North and South Korea together on stage. Also, choirs from
countries like Israel and Iran kept coming together at the choir festivals and light a beacon of
peace in Friendship Concerts.
Participation is the highest honour. INTERKULTUR´s biggest success to date was to bring the
antique Olympic idea to the choral community. The Choir Olympics 2000 in Linz, Austria was
the beginning of a Choir Olympic movement, which goes around the world until today: Its story
of success continues with subsequent events in Busan, Republic of Korea in 2002 and Bremen,
Germany in 2004, and as of 2006 under the name “World Choir Games” in Xiamen, China; Graz,
Austria in 2008; Shaoxing, China in 2010; Cincinnati, USA in 2012; Riga, Latvia in 2014 and the
Winter Olympics City of Sochi, Russia in 2016. The 10 th anniversary edition of the World Choir
Games in 2018 happened on African soil for the first time: Tshwane in South Africa attracted
more than 300 choirs and more than 16,000 participants in July 2018. Due to the worldwide
COVID-19 pandemic the 11 th edition of the World Choir Games hosted by the cities of Antwerp
and Ghent in Belgium had to be postponed from July 2020 to the fall 2021. For the first time in
the event’s history these Games took place as a hybrid event with live competitions in Flanders
and an additional Virtual Competitions part. The 12 th edition of the event invited choirs from
around the world to Gangneung, Republic of Korea in summer 2023. The 13 th World Choir
Games happened in Oceania for the first time: Auckland in New Zealand welcomed 250 choirs
and groups in July 2024.
Since 2007 INTERKULTUR has been transferring the idea of the World Choir Games also to
different continents: The Asia Pacific Choir Games took place for the 4 th time already in October
2017, and in 2025 the first African Asia Pacific Choir Games will be held on the dream island

19
Mauritius. In 2013 the European Choir Games premiered in Graz, Austria. Subsequent editions
of the event were held in Magdeburg, Germany (2015), in Latvian capital Riga (2017) and in
the Swedish cities of Gothenburg (2019) and Norrköping (2023), along with the Grand Prix of
Nations, which addresses international top choirs. The sixth edition of the European Choir
Games will happen in Aarhus, Denmark in the summer of 2025.
The Idea
INTERKULTUR has become the symbol for a unique artistic idea: In comparison to traditional
meritorious choir competitions that only invite international elite choirs to take part, the
INTERKULTUR competitions are open to all non-professional choirs. Choirs from all over the
world, interested in gaining international festival and competition experience, can compete
according to their level of artistic achievement. INTERKULTUR has opened a door to new
impulses and perspectives for the national and international choral movement.
The Competitions
There are various categories for all types and levels of choirs in different degrees of difficulty,
with or without compulsory pieces. The competitions offer good, competitive conditions,
valuable, artistic contacts, various workshops and seminars, as well as practice opportunities
with international performers. More than 200 experts and leading choir conductors from all
over the world guarantee a high level of expertise in all INTERKULTUR events.
Evaluation System
The jury awards Bronze, Silver, and Gold Diplomas on 10 levels at INTERKULTUR competitions
according to the MUSICA MUNDI ® evaluation system (30-points-system); and Bronze, Silver
and Gold Medals at the World Choir Games, the Asia Pacific Choir Games, the European Choir
Games and the Grand Prix of Nations according to the World Choir Games evaluation system
(100-points-system). In each category, a Winner or Champion is determined and outstanding
achievements are honoured with Special Prizes. In some competitions there is a Grand Prize
Competition of the best choirs selected by the international jury which determines the overall
winner of the competition.
The Pedagogical Concept
INTERKULTUR events are not only competitions and international choir festivals, but also serve
as professional development such as providing feedback from various pedagogical offerings.
In Evaluation Performances or Individual Coachings, choirs have the chance to work with
international jury members and gain advice on their current level of achievement, receive
proficient pedagogical and artistic information and obtain suggestions as to how to interpret
the chosen piece. The MUSICA MUNDI ® Choir Academy gives new impetus especially to young
choir conductors in China.

20
Every two years the World Choir Council consisting of currently 146 members representing
96 countries and regions comes together during the World Choir Games to discuss the choral
scenes in their respective home countries. These meetings make an important contribution to
the development of the international choral scene.
Locations of Festivals and Competitions
To date, INTERKULTUR events have taken place in Austria, Belgium, Cambodia, Croatia, Czech
Republic, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia,
Malaysia, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, People’s Republic of China, South Africa, Portugal,
Philippines, Republic of Korea, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Thailand, USA and
Vietnam. In 2025 INTERKULTUR will organise its first-ever international choir competition in
Denmark and in 2026 the first international choir competition will happen in Finland.
Many cities have been convinced of the success of INTERKULTUR events and establish regular
choir festivals or apply repeatedly to host more unifying major events.
The Participants
In total, more than 11,000 choirs with more than 460,000 active singers from 112 countries
have taken part in the INTERKULTUR competitions to date. An interesting note is that more
than half of the participants have been children and youth up to 27 years of age and 67% of
the participating choirs are returning ensembles looking forward to new destinations and new
choral challenges. Many of them constantly increase their achievements – from first little
successes to a Gold Medal or the sought-after Champions title.
Means of Support
In accordance with its statutes, INTERKULTUR supports the following activities:
• International music festivals and choir competitions whose goal is to bring together choirs
from different regions of the world and encourage international collaboration through mutual
respect, as well as to contribute to cultural exchange and understanding among nations
• Children and youth choirs even from financially challenged countries
• Non-professional choirs that focus on the growth of youth development
• Young, talented choir conductors, young musicians and singers through the support of
scholarship awards
• Specific sponsorship opportunities

WORKSHOP WITH PAUL MEALOR: SINGING THE CEREMONIAL
The workshop will look at the genre of ceremonial choral music – singing for an
important event whether local or national - a wedding, an anniversary, etc. We will use
a simple piece from the recent coronation of the United Kingdom’s King Charles III and
Queen Camilla as a focus for the workshop and discuss how choirs can perform in an
appropriate way, engaging with each other and the audience to convey the message of
the occasion whilst projecting the values of the choir.
There will also be the opportunity to have the very first sing through of Royal composer,
Paul Mealor’s ‘A Red, Red Rose’ - an arrangement of the Robert Burns classic, written
for this year’s 20 th wedding anniversary of Britain’s King and Queen.

WORKSHOP WITH TRACY WONG: VOICES IN MOVEMENT
We will explore various movement-based choral warm ups / exercises that build independence
and musicality within a choral ensemble, while supporting the singing voice.
This will be applied to the most popular Malaysian folk song, “Wau Bulan”, that features
movement. Using this piece as a focus, we will unpack the historical and cultural context
of a folk song that would broaden the impact of learning and performance. This will also
inspire choirs to utilise similar approaches to the learning process of music of various
cultures, ultimately celebrating these communities in an intentional way. Come dressed
comfortably, ready to move!

THE TROPHIES

68
The Trophies
Using the theme of ‘Harmony & Unity’, the
trophies will embody the movement and flow
of choral music. The glass is shaped like a
musical note, symbolizing harmony and the
unity of voices. A gradient effect transitioning
from deep blue at the base to golden amber
at the top represents the crescendo and
power of choral singing. The ceramic base is
textured with a bronze effect glaze.
Ingrid Holborn
With over a decade of experience of abstract
art, Ingrid is now transitioning into a semiabstract
style. Incorporating romantic and
atmospheric elements, her work captures the
beauty of the natural world while exploring
new artistic horizons. Ingrid’s design for
this year’s International Choir Competition
Trophies captures the essence of her work,
infused with emotion and imagination inspired
by music.

69
Fiona Caley
Fiona loves to explore various art mediums;
photography, creative writing, printmaking,
collage and experimental making of any kind.
At the heart of her practise is her passion
for the Holderness landscape. In her creative
workshops she always aims to inspire in a
relaxed environment, she wholeheartedly believes
in the power of creativity to heal and to
build community.
Carrie Hunt
Carrie Hunt's stoneware pottery reflects her
enjoyment of making, growing and cooking,
producing functional and decorative pieces
that are “of the earth”.
Nadine Storrer
Nadine is a Hull artist and poet with an affinity
and passion for colour, texture and all things
'Tropical'. Her interest in Hull iconic buildings,
people and places can be seen in her raw and
uncensored printmaking and in her textured
ceramics and stunning glasswork.
Pru Todd
Pru is the founder and co-ordinator of
Traenerhus, a local arts organisation which
runs art and craft workshops, collaborative
art projects and commissions across Hull and
East Riding. Pru has over 35 years experience
of Community Development and spent the
last 13 years focussing on the benefits of art
and crafts to people’s well-being.
