World Choral Festival
The World Choral
Festival invites choruses, both acknowledged and recommended
in every respect, in order that the home choral circle
may have an opportunity to learn a lot of lessons from
them. Since the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games when the
Culture and Arts Festival was acknowledged as the most
outstanding cultural event and came up in conversation,
the World Choral Festival has been held biennially.
It promotes world harmony through choruses, and
introduces us to their music as cultural assets. IFCM
shows much interest in it. In the meantime, it became
a unique international choral festival both in name
and reality.
Particularly the '94 World Choral Festival celebrated
Seoul's 600th birthday. Since 600 years ago, the
capital of our country was transferred to Seoul.
The World Choral Festival gathers home and famous foreign
choruses to form the image of world peace and harmony.
