During the competition, artists will compete in various categories, following on strict requirements of choral performances while demonstrating the typical identities of their individual country.
Apart from the major competition at Hoi An Beach Resort, participating choirs will give performances in a program themed “International rhymes”, on June 8-9 in Hoi An ancient town. This year’s international choir competition is expected to entertain audiences with classical music, which will hopefully bring this kind of music closer to people.
