Local auditions for World Choir Games set

The success of the MBC National Choral Competition in bringing the choral community to the public eye for the past six years has caught the attention of Interkultur Germany—the group behind the World Choir Games—which has long wanted to stage an international festival right here on local shores.

This will finally become a reality on December 11 to 15, when it teams up with Manila Broadcasting Co. (MBC), Star City, the Philippine Choral Directors Association (PCDA), and Globe Telecom in mounting Sing N Joy Manila at the Aliw and Star Theaters. Audiences will be treated to stunning harmonies from the best choirs in the world in the classical, sacred music, folkloric, and pop music genres.
