Sing´n´Joy Bohol 2024

Around 8 years ago I suggested and initiated the Sing'N'Joy Bohol festival. Since then Over time, the creation of the festival took a turbulent development. At first you should just the provincial government becomes a partner of INTERKULTUR, then only the city government of Tagbilaran and ultimately it will be both. 

The event was overall postponed three times, twice due to CORONA.

The first implementation was planned for 2018. Then it became concrete for 2020 planned when numerous choirs had already registered for it came CORONA and nothing worked anymore. If the festival was postponed to 2022, it was later discovered that.

That was still too early, but ultimately the festival will take place from October 2nd to 6th in Tagbilaran City carried out.

There are 26 choirs from China, Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines with a total of over 700 participants registered.

Wurde das Festival auf 2022 verschoben stellte man später fest, dass das auch noch zu früh war, nun letztlich wird das Festival vom 2.-6. Oktober in Tagbilaran City durchgeführt.

Es haben sich 26 Chöre aus China, Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia und den Philippinen mit insgesamt über 700 Teilnehmern angemeldet.

I´m off to Vienna to sing Beethoven's 9th with the Vienna Singakademie and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra! 

Tuesday, May 7, 2024, marks the 200th anniversary of the premiere of Beethoven's world-famous Ninth Symphony. ARTE and ORF are taking this as an opportunity for a unique European TV music event and broadcasting the four movements of "the Ninth" live (time-shifted) one after the other from four European cities, interpreted by four top orchestras, each under top-class musical direction. Viewers can experience this extraordinary concert event in front of the TV screen.

The Gewandhaus Orchestra under Andris Nelsons opens the evening in Leipzig with the first movement. It continues with the Orchestre de Paris, which can be heard in the Philharmonie de Paris with the second movement under Klaus Mäkelä. The third movement will be interpreted by Riccardo Chailly conducting the Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala. For the fourth and final movement, ARTE returns to the city of the world premiere, Vienna. The Vienna Symphony Orchestra will perform under Petr Popelka. Exciting!
