ABOUT INTERKULTUR 16

… Connecting Bridges

The first INTERKULTUR International Choir Competition in Budapest, held in 1988, was the start of one of the largest and most successful series of cultural events in Europe. The IN- TERKULTUR Event Series has meanwhile become known throughout the world for its high artistic and organizational standards and as a concept for the choirs and choir enthusiasts worldwide. These events are organized by INTERKULTUR, a non-profit organization based in Germany.

INTERKULTUR´s biggest success to date was to bring the antique Olympic idea to the choral community. The Choir Olympics 2000 in Linz, Austria was the beginning of a Choir Olympic movement, with subsequent events in Busan, Republic of Korea in 2002, and Bre- men, Germany in 2004. This success continued under the name “World Choir Games” in Xiamen, China in 2006, Graz, Austria in 2008, Shaoxing, China in 2010, and Cincinnati, USA in 2012. In 2014, the World Choir Games were held in Riga, Latvia and marked the biggest event in the history of the choir Olympic idea attracting 27,000 participants. In July 2016, 283 choirs from 76 nations were guests in the Olympic city of Sochi in Russia for the 9th World Choir Games. The 10th anniversary edition of the World Choir Games in 2018 will happen on the African continent for the first time: in Tshwane in South Africa.

Another milestone in the history of INTERKULTUR was to establish a Championship for choirs. The first World Choir Championships debuted in 2009 in the Province of Gyeo- ngnam, Republic of Korea, followed by the World Choir Championships for Youth and Young Adults in July 2011 in Graz, Austria. Graz again was the host city for an INTERKUL- TUR even; the first European Choir Games were held in July 2013. The second edition of this European version of the World Choir Games was held in Magdeburg, Germany in July 2015, the 3rd European Choir Games will happen in the Latvian capital Riga in 2017 along with the “2nd Grand Prix of Nations”. Sri Lanka in October 2017 will host the 4th edition of the Asia Pacific Choir Games already.

The Idea INTERKULTUR has become the symbol for a unique artistic idea, consisting of a new in- terpretation concerning the execution of choir festivals. In comparison to traditional meritorious choir competitions that only invite international elite choirs to take part; the INTERKULTUR competitions are open to all non-professional choirs. Choirs from all over the world, interested in gaining international festival and competition experience, can compete according to their level of artistic achievement. The Artistic Committee puts em- phasis on the presence of the highest level of choral performers as well as on the presence of the greatest diversity of choirs in all competitions. This new type of competition has 17

been copied by numerous organizations in the past two decades. With the idea to orga- nize the World Choir Games, formerly known as “Choir Olympics” biennially, INTERKULTUR has opened a door to new impulses and perspectives for the national and international choral movement.

The Quality Seal For more than 20 years, MUSICA MUNDI® has been the exclusive quality seal for all IN- TERKULTUR events worldwide. The evaluation system on which all INTERKULTUR competitions are based upon since the first event in Budapest in 1988 have been improved contin- uously. MUSICA MUNDI® ensures comparability among all events, a smooth organization and has set standards in the world of choral music.

The Competitions There are various categories for all types and levels of choirs in different degrees of difficulty, with or without compulsory pieces. The competitions offer good competitive conditions, valuable artistic contacts, various workshops and seminars, as well as practice opportunities with international performers. More than 200 experts and leading choirmasters from all over the world guarantee a high level of expertise in all INTERKULTUR events.

Evaluation System The jury awards Bronze, Silver, and Gold Diplomas on 10 levels at INTERKULTUR competitions along with Bronze, Silver and Gold Medals at the World Choir Games, the World Choir Championships and the Grand Prix of Nations, according to the MUSICA MUNDI® evaluation system. In each category, a winner or champion is determined and outstanding achievements are honored with special prizes. In some competitions there is a grand prize competition of the category winners which determines the overall winner of the competition.

The Pedagogical Concept INTERKULTUR events are not only competitions and international choir festivals, but also provide professional competence. Choirs are able to receive feedback from various pedagogical offerings. In evaluation rounds, choirs have the chance to work with international jury members and gain advice on their current level of achievement, receive proficient pedagogical and artistic information and obtain suggestions as to how to interpret the chosen piece. Choirs may also attend workshops and seminars along with participation in Friendship and Celebration Concerts which allow international choirs to interact with choirs of the host city during INTERKULTUR events. 18

Locations of Festivals and Competitions To date, INTERKULTUR events have taken place in Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Malaysia, Malta, People’s Republic of Chi- na, Republic of Korea, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, USA and Vietnam. In 2016 INTERKULTUR is present also in Belgium, France, Portugal, Russia and Thailand for the first time.

The Participants In total, around 8.600 choirs with roughly 376.000 active singers from 103 countries have taken part in the INTERKULTUR competitions to date. An interesting note is that more than half of the participants have been children and youth up to 27 years of age.

Means of Support In accordance with its statutes, INTERKULTUR supports the following activities: • International music festivals and choir competitions whose goal is to bring together choirs from different regions of the world and encourage international collaboration through mutual respect, as well as to contribute to cultural exchange and understanding among nations • Children and youth choirs even from financially challenged countries • Non-professional choirs that focus on the growth of youth development • Young, talented choirmasters, young musicians and singers through the support of scholarship awards • Specific sponsorship opportunities

European Culture Award INTERKULTUR was awarded the 2006 and 2016 European Culture Award, by former Ger- man Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hans Dietrich Genscher and presented by KulturForum Europa, for its activities on behalf of understanding between peoples and furtherance of common European thinking in the field of culture.

WESTMINSTER CHOIR COLLEGE OF RIDER UNIVERSITY 22

Westminster Choir College of Rider University Princeton, New Jersey

America's best minds and musicians have been visiting and meeting in Princeton, New Jersey for more than 200 years.

Located between New York City and Philadelphia, Princeton is the home of four major educational institutions: Princeton University, Princeton Theological Seminary, the Institute for Advanced Study and Westminster Choir College of Rider University.

Westminster Choir College began in Dayton, Ohio, where John Finley Williamson established the Westminster Choir in 1920 at the Westminster Presbyterian Church of Dayton, Ohio. The national prominence achieved by this choir and Dr. Williamson’s conviction that churches could best be served by dedicated, professionally trained musicians led him to found Westminster Choir School at the Dayton church in 1926. Graduates of the original three-year program were called “ministers of music,” a term of reference recognized na- tionally today.

In 1929 the college moved to Ithaca, New York and became associated with what is now Ithaca College, where a four-year program leading to the Bachelor of Music degree was instituted. Relocated in Princeton in 1932 it became known as Westminster Choir College in 1939. The move to Princeton was motivated by a desire to provide ready access to the great metropolitan centers and orchestras of the eastern seaboard.

To celebrate the opening of the campus, Leopold Stokowski brought The Philadelphia Or- chestra to Princeton to perform J.S Bach’s Mass in B Minor with the Westminster Choir in the Princeton University Chapel. Since then the Westminster Symphonic Choir has performed hundreds of times and made many recordings with the principal orchestras of New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburgh, Boston, and Atlanta. Conductors of the choir have included Bernstein, Ormandy, Steinberg, Stokowski, Toscanini, Walter, Chail- 23

ly, Leinsdorf, Levine, Macal, Masur, Muti, Ozawa, Sawallisch, Shaw, Dudamel and Nézet- Séguin. The choir has also received numerous invitations to sing with such touring orchestras as the Berlin Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Royal Concertgebouw, the Vienna Philharmonic and the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra when these orchestras have come to perform in New York and Philadelphia.

Renowned for its unique choral core, Westminster has also become recognized as a center for vocal performance. Its alumni include Jennifer Larmore, Emily Magee, Jennifer Check, Laquita Mitchell and Michael Sylvester, and they appear regularly in opera houses and on concert stages throughout the world. In Princeton, Westminster has hosted renowned composers and solo artists, including Sergei Rachmaninoff, Marilyn Horn, Morten Laurid- sen, Thomas Hampson and Eric Whitacre, who have performed and led master classes with Westminster’s students.

Westminster Choir College merged with Rider University in 1992. In 2007 Rider Univer- sity established the Westminster College of the Arts whose mission is to inspire and em- power innovative artists and leaders to transform their communities through the arts. With world-class programs in art, dance, music, music theatre, and theatre and based in Princeton and Lawrenceville, New Jersey; the College consists of three divisions: Westmin- ster Choir College, the School of Fine and Performing Arts and Westminster Conservato- ry, a music school for pre-college students. Rider University is a private co-educational, student-centered university that emphasizes purposeful connections between rigorous academic study and real world learning experience. 24 25
