When the dream comes true…
SiparantumChoir for the first time in the history of choral music of our country, Siparantum will represent Kosovo in the largest choral music competition in the world, WORLD CHOIR GAMES 2021. In WCG this year compete over 300 choirs from around the world.
The choir competes in the Open Competition, in the category “Contemporary Music” which will be held in the famous concert hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Antwerp (Home of Royal Flemish Philharmonic). The choir will also be part of two other concerts, Friendship Concerts that will be held in the most popular places like; Handelsbeurs, Antwerp and the Cathedral of Our Lady, Antwerp.
While on November 3, I will be at the general meeting of the World Choir Council, where I also represent our country Kosovo (from 2019), within the largest choral network in the world. I am extremely happy that our work is being rewarded and appreciated internationally.
History is written only once!
