Network with Singers Around the Globe!
It's August 2011, which means, it’s around one year left to the 2012 World Choir Games in Cincinnati and to the 1st Xinghai Prize International Choir Championships in Guangzhou, China. So it’s high time to start thinking about fundraising and choir sponsoring, isn’t it?
Some choirs set and are still setting good examples, which we are going to introduce to you now. Read more, get inspired by their activities and create your own ideas!
Voices of Unity Choir Olympic Team (USA)
2010 World Choir Games in Shaoxing
They’ve built the Voices of Unity Choir Olympic Team to get funds for participation in the World Choir Games. They attracted the attention of sponsors through the newly launched website http://www.dreamsofgold.org, gathered enough funds, Voices of Unity travelled to China and was rewarded. The dreams of gold have come true. And we will meet them again: 2012 in Cincinnati.
Boğaziçi Jazz Choir (Turkey)
World Choir Championships in Graz 2011
The World Choir Championships for Youth and Young Adults in Graz 2011. This was the dream of Boğaziçi Jazz Choir from Istanbul. They found a unique way to seek sponsors. They simply sang “Joshua fought the battle of Jericho” in the metro during the rush hour and uploaded a video to youtube. The result: World Champion in the “Musica Contemporanea” and “Folklore” categories.
Rejoice Gospel Choir (Germany)
2012 World Choir Games in Cincinnati
Rejoice from Langenberg was the first German choir registered for the 2012 World Choir Games in Cincinnati. They found a prominent intercessor supporting their plans: The prime minister of the German state of North-Rhine Westfalia, Hannelore Kreaft. It’s an outstanding reference regarding future sponsors!
Greeting Hannelore Kraft (German)
The Young People's Chorus of Erie (USA)
2012 World Choir Games in Cincinnati
The idea: Help send dedicated young singers to compete at the World Choir Games. The plan: getting most of the votes at the online voting of the Pepsi Refresh Project and getting the money needed from Pepsi. People who still want to support the idea of Young People's Chorus of Erie: vote for them here.
And what about you? Which of our choir events do you want to participate in? What is your fundraising idea? Write us and we will give an account of it!
