Information:
The Sixth
World Symposium on Choral Music took place in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota,
August 3-10, 2002. It was the Symposium's first appearance in the United States
and it will not return for years to come.
The event was hosted by the Minnesota
chapter of the American Choral Directors Association and was the largest to date.
The 1,615 delegates hailed from 70 countries. Over 2,000 singers gave an unprecedented
total of 88 performances in eight days. All the paid concerts were sold out and
the free ones had standing room only, even at venues accommodating up to 3,000
people.
This was the first of these symposiums to commission new choral works.
Ten renowned composers from the Americas wrote 4-minute a capella choruses
in a variety of languages. American names included Moses Hogan, Libby Larsen,
Stephen Paulus, Chen Yi and Dominick Argento.
Lectures were presented by the
likes of Helmut Rilling, John Rutter and Bobby McFerrin.
This event touched
many in ways hard to evaluate and its impact in the choral world cannot be overestimated.
These discs are a wonderful sampling of the riches in music, languages, styles
and cultures this symposium offered.
