  • Eurovision Choir 2019: Press Handbook
    PRESS HANDBOOK Eurovision Choir 2019 Press, Delegation & Production Handbook DISTRIBUTION: Press, Delegations, Production Dear friends, It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to the second edition of Eurovision Choir, here in Gothenburg. Those of us who were fortunate enough to be involved in the production during Latvian Television’s first edition in Riga hold many fond memories of launching Eurovision’s newest competition format. The show was spectacular, the choirs stunning and the music sublime. But what remains most strongly in my memory is the unique atmosphere of the backstage area around the show. I recall a festive atmosphere, almost a party, as nine choirs traded songs across the dressing room walls. And indeed, this is a festival – a festival of the beauty and diversity of choral singing in Europe, and of what can be achieved by joining our voices. So it seems true – singing is good for the soul. Thanks to those of you who have made the journey to attend Eurovision Choir 2019 in Gothenburg. Good luck to all the choirs taking part and enjoy the show! Jon Ola Sand Executive Supervisor, Eurovision Song Contest & Eurovision Live Events.

Even though we are currently limited to digital meetings, it has been our intention to make the most of the current situation. Especially the recent challenges that affect choirs worldwide require a shared exchange and discussion of experiences as well as tips on how to deal with the situation. Of course, not every country, not every region is affected in the same way – every nation has its very own choral scene with specific needs. This is why we were very happy, that the offer of Online Regional Meetings has met with such great interest from you. The World Choir Council is not only the highly esteemed advisory committee for INTERKULTUR, it is a worldwide network of people with the same goals, driven by the same passion. It is our common concern to connect the choral world with each other, to strengthen the individual choral scenes and to promote the cooperation of nations and the further development of choral music.
