Colombo, Aug 13 (newsin.asia) –  Colombo’s Choral Music lovers will be uniquely privileged to experience a week long festival of choral competitions, friendship concerts and gala celebration concerts when the Asia Pacific Choir Games and Grand Prix of Nations take over the city Oct 21 to
Oct 28.

This celebration with the arrival of thousands of international participants, chaperons and spectators will be the harbinger of good tidings for the future of Cultural Tourism into Sri
Lanka.

The spectacular festival is being hosted by The Colombo Cultural Hub Trust, under the patronage of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, in collaboration with the Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau and INTERKULTUR of Germany, the world’s leading body for international choral competitions and festivals.

The Colombo Cultural Hub Trust was established as a Public Private Partnership with the objective of developing a South Asian Cultural Hub in Colombo towards fostering visual and performing arts, both international and local.

Mano Chanmugam, Chairman of the Colombo Cultural Hub Trust said, “This week long competitive celebration will be held in a South Asian nation for the very first time, and we at the Colombo Cultural Hub Trust are delighted to partner with INTERKULTUR to bring it to Colombo. We are confident that this magnificent festival will not only be a center of entertainment and competitions, but provide a platform for multi-cultural exchange, especially for our youth.”

The glittering highlight of the festival will take place on the evening of Tuesday, 24 th October, when 70 choirs from 10 nations comprising 3,000 choristers, desiring Gold, Silver and Bronze medals will flood Colombo 7 in a colourful Festive Street Parade from the Nelum Pokuna Theatre going all around the Viharamahadevi Park, back to a fun filled carnival atmosphere to end the celebrations at Nelum Pokuna premises.

The three preceding Asia Pacific Choir Games were held twice in Indonesia and once in South Korea and witnessed popular Sri Lankan choirs such as the Revelations, VoicePrint, Soul Sounds Academy and Voices in Harmony compete and win awards.

This year’s festival will feature three competitions, each of which will have 10 categories for participants to compete under.

Choirs from all over the Asia Pacific region, regardless of their present level of achievement, will have the opportunity to participate in the Open Competition. Choirs with international competitive experience will participate in the Asia Pacific Champions Competition and choirs that have
competitive experience in international choral competitions, will compete against each other at the
Grand Prix of Nations.

All competitions will be judged by a panel of international jurors who are experts
in the field of music and choral singing.

In addition to competitive and non competitive participation, choirs will have the opportunity in their free time to tour Sri Lanka and perform in Friendship Concerts with other choirs in public
venues within the city of Colombo.

These free public concerts will provide opportunities for each choir to share the musical traditions of their native land with other choirs and the Sri Lankan public.

Furthermore, select members of the jury panel will conduct workshops and masterclasses at local
schools to foster a love of culture and arts amongst students.
