The World Choir Games (WCG), often dubbed the ‘Olympics of Choral Music’, stand as the largest international choir competition. Organised by INTERKULTUR, a renowned German company, this event serves to unite choirs worldwide in a celebration of music and cultural harmony. Here’s a comprehensive look into the essence of the World Choir Games, encompassing its origins, structure, and global impact.
Inaugurated in 2000 in Linz, Austria, the World Choir Games have burgeoned into a biennial global phenomenon, hosted in various cities across the globe.

Beyond mere competition, the World Choir Games serve as a platform for artistic excellence and the cultivation of enduring international friendships through collaborative performances and shared musical experiences.
