Two award-winning German choirs, the Berliner Mädchenchor under Sabine Wüsthoff and HXOS Chor Berlin directed by Stelios Chatziktoris, will make their Chinese debut during the event, presenting special concerts at Taicang Grand Theatre on Aug 22 and 23, respectively. The event culminates on Aug 24 with a grand Sino-German choral concert, offering the audience a high-caliber, international, and soul-stirring choral feast.

Immersive masterclasses will be conducted to share cutting-edge choral techniques with participants. Workshops will be set up for choirs from diverse cultural backgrounds to exchange skills.

Through musical performances, academic exchanges, and cultural interactions, the event aims to create a vibrant platform for international choral exchange.
