Following the huge success of the European Choir Games and Grand Prix of Nations in 2015, Magdeburg – home city of Baroque composer Georg Philipp Telemann – had once again become a welcoming host for a dynamic and inspiring festival of choral music.
The Chorfest Magdeburg, which had been successfully organized by the Choir Association Saxony-Anhalt for years, was enriched with an international choir competition by INTERKULTUR to create an eventful international festival to connect local choirs with singers from all over the world.
Competitions in different levels of difficulty, categories and settings as well as Friendship Concerts, possibilities for singing together and personal education left nothing to be desired by the participating choirs.
A variety of concert activities by the local choirs made a valuable contribution to these opportunities. The “Internationales Chorfest Magdeburg” provided a platform for an active exchange of national and international choral music, new friendships and unique intercultural encounters.
