Nearly 40 choirs, including over 1,000 domestic and international
singers, will perform at the first International Choir Festival &
Competition in Hoi An city in the central province of Quang Nam, from
March 16-20 in 2011.
The event, jointly organised
by Quang Nam province and the German-based Association InterKultur,
is part of the 2011 National Tourism Year programme in the central
southern coastal region and Phu Yen province .
Tran Minh Ca, Deputy Chairman of Quang Nam provincial People’s Committee
said on September 17 that the festival will include amateur singers
from Vietnam and other countries from across the world.
It is also a chance for the singers to popularise choral performances,
helping administrators to seek out new ways of entertaining people
during the integration process.
About 40 choir teams will be divided into six groups, competing in 13 events, with the winners of each group awarded a prize./.
