4th International Choral Festival, 23 to 26 November 2017
Voices of Spirit 2017
Under the motto Forever Young the fourth edition brought eighteen choirs and three ensembles to seven Graz venues. The opening concert in the Mariahilferkirche put the Deutscher Jugendkammerchor, the Korean ChungChoon Chorus and a local children's choir on one stage, the Swedish a cappella legends The Real Group headlined the Orpheum, and the weekend closed with the premiere of Christian Dreo's peace mass and the gala Immortal Bach in the Stefaniensaal.
