»Musica noster amor!«
Gallus – Maribor International Choral Competition first took place in 1992 alongside the 12th national choral competition Naša pesem. Since then, it is held every two years (with the exception of two consecutive events in 2008 and 2009) and exchanges turns with the national competition. The competition has been a member of the European Grand Prix for Choral Singing Association (EGP) since 2008.
Union Concert Hall
Maribor
The city particularity is the Union Concert Hall, built over a hundred years ago by the enthusiastic choral singer Anton Götz and has exceptional acoustics. This was key to Maribor having long since become the national centre of choral singing with the national choral competition »Naša pesem« (»Our song«), while also taking place here for the past 30 years is International choral competition Gallus – Maribor, its climax the finale for the »European Grand Prix for Choral Singing«.
»I’ve been to Maribor a few times and I don’t remember such a high level, which is also good for the audience. I’m really happy to be here and I’m already looking forward to the next competition.« (April 2019)
