2nd Asian Choir Games
July 7-17, 2009, Gyeongnam Province, Korea


The choirs of the Asia-Pacific region have fond memories of the 1st Asian Choir Games, held in Jakarta, Indonesia in November 2007. More than 4,500 participants from 12 countries celebrated the opening of a new series of events created by INTERKULTUR to acknowledge the growing role of choral music in the Asia-Pacific region. 135 choirs witnessed the rich depth and diversity of the choral musical palette in this region and encouraged the organizers to continue to hold the event on a biennial basis.

Following the great success of the maiden event in Indonesia, INTERKULTUR, in collaboration with the Province of Gyeongnam, is proud to present the 2nd Asian Choir Games!
Yes, this time it will be a whole Province that hosts the event, spread over a number of its cities: the beautiful Korean Province of Gyeongnam on the south coast of the country.

All choirs from the Asia-Pacific region are welcome and also have the chance of taking part in one of the competition's 15 categories. The best choirs at the 2nd Asian Choir Games will also have the opportunity to qualify for the Grand Prix of Choral Music: this time round, the Asian Choir Games are an independent event within a larger festival series.

In addition to the choirs, the event will be open to all kinds of instrumentalists and instrumental groups as well as folk dance groups. The involvement of a wider range of music and dance will make the Asian Choir Games an even more colorful and entertaining event.

Interested? Come and be a part of it. The choirs of the Asia-Pacific region are hereby invited to take part in the 2nd Asian Choir Games in Gyeongnam Province, Korea!
