Vietnam’s most famous old town Hoi An will welcome 1,000 plus artistes
from 10 countries for a choir contest this week. This year’s
competition will have choirs from China, Estonia, Indonesia, Malaysia,
Philippines, Poland, South Korea, Singapore, the U.S. and host
Vietnam. The sixth Vietnam International Choir Competition, organized
by the Hoi An People’s Committee in collaboration with German choir
competitions and festivals organizer Interkultur, will take place May
15-18.
"Hoi An, which means peaceful meeting place, is an ideal venue for
peaceful competitions for both locals and foreigners," said
Interkultur president Günter Titsch. The teams will compete in
different categories and difficulty levels in chamber music, hymns and
folk songs. All performances will need to meet certain artistic choir
criteria while showcasing each team’s unique national identity.
Aside from the major competitions taking place at the Hoi An Beach
Resort, choir teams will participate in a friendship concert called
"International Melody" on Bach Dang Street and Kazik Garden on Tran
Phu Street on May 16 and 17. There will also be a choir parade on the
streets of Hoi An on May 18. The town has been chosen several times to
host this event, especially after it successfully held the first choir
competition in Vietnam in 2011.
