Welcome
ChoirFest 2009: The Prague
Choral
Festival
 Prague serves as
the destination for ChoirFest International 2009. The festival begins
with rehearsals on Monday, July 27th, conducted by René Clausen.
Featuring The Empire Brass in a concert of Songs of Celebration, the
program will include the world premiere of an original piece by Mr.
Clausen commissioned by ChoirFest.
During the daily
choral workshop sessions non-singers will have optional guided tours
exploring the art and culture of Prague. Opportunities for
sight-seeing, shopping, and attending concerts will be bountiful. A
special concert by The Empire Brass will be presented during the week
and is included in your festival registration. Extension tours will be
offered to Vienna, Budapest, and other great European cities at
reasonable additional cost.
Fun is always
available, but JOY is forever. Join us!
