News Location: Manila, Philippines
Interkultur Germany—the group behind the World Choir Games–has long wanted to stage an international festival here. It has teamed up with Manila Broadcasting Company (MBC), Star City, the Philippine Choral Directors Association (PCDA), and Globe Telecom for Sing N Joy Manila at the Aliw and Star Theaters this December.
In preparation for this, MBC has announced qualifying auditions for Philippine choirs, which will be held on Aug. 17 in Baguio, Aug. 24 in Cebu, Aug. 31 in Davao, and Sept. 7 in Iloilo.
Children’s choirs, as well as non-professional groups—mixed choruses, all-male, and all-female ensembles—are invited to contest the slots open to local choirs, whose participation will be subsidized by MBC. Former champions of the MBC National Choral Competition from 2007-2012 have automatically been invited into the contest proper.
