It will also showcase the diversity of choral music and choir formations - from exquisite chamber choirs to children's and youth choirs and large singing academies. At the same time, various events are planned to motivate the people of Chemnitz and the region to sing. In addition to concerts in shopping centres, musical city tours and a singing chain through the city centre are also planned.
