6th international conducting competition - ENCOUNTERS OVER THE CHORAL SCORES
→ Encounters Over the Choral Scores 2021
Dear contestants,
we would like to inform you that despite the huge efforts of the organizers to organize this year's conductor's competition Encounters Over the Choral Scores in person, this intention will not succeed.
Due to the complicated epidemiological situation and the related restrictive measures, we are forced to conduct an online competition this year as well.
Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to meeting you online.
