The First International Church Choir Competition takes place April 25–28 in Kronach, Germany. Each of the four rounds (Renaissance and Baroque, Classic, Romantic, and Contemporary) includes a compulsory piece, and free choice of one or two a cappella pieces from the period. Jury members are Dario Tabbia and Friedemann Johannes Wieland.
In addition to first through third prizes (€2,000, €1,500 and €1,000), publishers Bärenreiter, CARUS, and Edition Peters have provided special prizes. The winning choir will present a concert on April 28 at Christuskirche Kronach, with additional concerts April 29 at Micheliskirche Ludwigsstadt, and April 30 at Päpstliche Basilika Marienweiher.
