The 11th edition of the world's largest international choir competition was organized online by the Interkultur to enable all choirs worldwide to participate online due to the Covid-19 outbreak. The World Choir Games are an international choir festival-taking place every two years on different continents.
Established in June 2016, the Saigon Choir currently has more than 60 members. The choir has regularly maintained practical activities and participated in international music competitions as well as organized private music nights for over the past five years with the support of the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music. The Saigon Choir previously won the Gold prize at the Vietnam International Choir Competition 2017 held by the Interkultur in Hoi An ancient town in the central coastal province of Quang Nam.
However, musician Huynh Quang Thai who is conductor of the Saigon Choir expressed his concern that artists are facing a lack of investment in capital and supporting measures in order to participate in the international music festivals. The Saigon Choir has met all the standard requirements of an international choir but it has not received any investment. Young artists of the choir have performed without remuneration for over the past six years. They are on the stage because of their great love for performing. The choir expects to have a chance to join the 12th World Choir Games which will be held in July in the city of Gangneung, located in the Gangwong province, South Korea.
Musician Duong Khac Linh said that he was very proud of Vietnam young artists who have made every effort to join the international music events with professional and independent working style, not inferior to international artists despite the difficult time of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution helps artists around the world easily connect with each other. There's a narrow gap between international and domestic artists, musician Hua Kim Tuyen said.
