CHILDREN’S CHOIR FESTIVAL HALLE

The International Children’s and Youth Choir Festival in Halle (Saale) “Georg Friedrich Händel” was founded in 1979 and is one of the oldest festivals of its kind in Germany. The bi-yearly event takes place at the beginning of May and converts the city of Halle (Saale) during four days into a performing stage for children’s choirs from all over the world.

“Music is the universal language of mankind.” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
