Quo Vadis Choral Music

Design the Future of your Choral Community

New CHORALSPACE conference in collaboration with the Rundfunkchor Berlin

April 21 – 24, 2022 | Haus des Rundfunks | Berlin, Germany

What is the heartbeat of the choral music nowadays? And what about the audience? How can we reach more visibility? What is the perspective for choir festivals, music publishing and cultural sponsoring? And how do we react to that? What about inclusion and diversity in the choir communities? What role do education projects play in accessing choral music?

Scene meeting and open forum

The new CHORALSPACE conference QUO VADIS CHORAL MUSIC is intended as a meeting place for the choral industry and an open forum to contribute to a better understanding and promotion of current developments in the choir scene.
