This choir festival, specially sponsored by Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam, will be held as a cultural festival under the slogan "Changwon as a World-Class Choir City," featuring performances by 21 amateur choirs.


On the first day, the 24th, nine teams representing a wide range of ages, from seniors to youth, will take the stage. On the second day, 12 teams-including women's choirs, workplace choirs, and church choirs-will perform a variety of pieces, such as "Song of the Wind" and medleys of folk songs from around the world.


In particular, this choir festival introduces a new model to the Korean choir scene by featuring collaborative performances where either two choirs share the same conductor or two conductors each lead their own teams in partnership.



Ku Jacheon, chairperson of the Gyeongnam International Choir Organizing Committee, which is hosting the event, stated, "As a follow-up to the 1st Gyeongnam International Choir Festival held last May, 21 amateur choirs that are actively performing in Changwon Special City will take the stage to create a festive atmosphere. We look forward to the enthusiastic support of the one million citizens of this special city."
