1st Asian Choir Games Jakarta 2007
November 2 - 10, 2007
The 1st Asian Choir Games Jakarta 2007 - the Asia Pacific Olympics for choirs - is the largest international event for amateur choirs in Asia and is going to be hosted in Jakarta, the capital of the Republic of Indonesia from November 2nd until November 10th, 2007. Thousands of participants from many nations will perform in the modern "JI Jakarta International Expo" Centre and will turn Jakarta into the centre of the Asia Pacific choir music for some days.
Organizer of the Asian Choir Games is INTERKULTUR Germany, the work of which has just been decorated with the "European Culture Award 2006", in collaboration with the Indonesian Ministry of Culture and Tourism, with "Royalindo Convention International" of Jakarta and other authoritative institutions of the host country.
It began with the World Choir Games - the Olympics for Choirs - in Linz / Austria in 2000, followed by Busan / Rep. of Korea 2002, Bremen / Germany 2004, Xiamen / China 2006. The 5th edition INTERKULTUR will hold in Graz / Austria in 2008. As a further event series in this tradition - also biannually - the Asian Choir Games will account for the fact that Asian choir music is playing an increasing role in the international choral movement.
The 1st Asian Choir Games 2007 in Jakarta will be a great gathering of choirs from all parts of the Asian Pacific Area. In Jakarta choirs are competing in 21 different categories according to age, voicing and different music genres.

1st Asian Choir Games tahun 2007
November 2 - 10, 2007
Setelah melalui event-event pertandingan choir di beberapa negara, Indonesia akhirnya dipilih sebagai tuan rumah dalam pelaksanaan The 1st Asian Choir Games Jakarta 2007, yaitu sebuah event pertandingan bertaraf olimpiade pada bidang choir bagi para penyanyi amatir di Seluruh Asia Pacific.
Event ini dikenal sebagai event terbesar bagi tim choir amatir di Asia dan tahun depan akan diselenggarakan di Jakarta International Expo. Pada saat itu, Jakarta akan menjadi pusat kegiatan choir se-Asia Pacific untuk seminggu lebih lamanya.
Pengelolaan event ini dilakukan oleh Interkultur Jerman, sebuah lembaga yang baru saja menerima European Culture Award 2006, dan bekerjasama dengan Departemen Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata RI serta Royalindo Convention International. Ini adalah sebuah bukti bahwa peran Asia dalam bidang choir di kancah internasional merupakan bagian dari hal yang penting bagi perkembangan choir dunia.
Menteri Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata (Menbudpar), Ir. Jero Wacik, SE., begitu berbahagia dalam mensukseskan event ini. Upayanya selama ini dalam memperkenalkan Indonesia di mata dunia sebagai destinasi wisata dan tempat bagi penyelenggaraan event-event bertaraf internasional tidak sia-sia. Menbudpar tidak sabar menanti para peserta dengan jamuan selamat datang yang begitu hangat dan bersahabat.
