Конкурсът „Световните хорови игри” е най-голямата хорова надпревара в света. 5-то му издание ще се проведе от 9 до 19 юли 2008 г. в Грац, Австрия. За пореден път хорове от целия свят в мирна надпревара ще излъчат „Шампиона” на всички хорове.
Австрийското национално радио, телевизионен канал ORF и други телевизии и радиостанци ще отразят игрите.
За първи път във фестивала могат да вземат участие и духови оркестри, фолклорни ансамбли и групи за автентични народни танци.
The 50th World Festival of Folklore Schoten will be held from 11 to 18 July, 2008.
In 1959 members of a folklore group and the local tourist association founded The World Festival of Folklore in Schoten in order to promote folk art by presenting it to the public in a beautiful setting, being the historical castle and its surroundings.
The festival takes place every year from Friday before through Friday after the second Sunday in July. Eight to 10 high quality foreign dance ensembles present their program to an audience totalling 30 to 35.000.
It is an amateur festival and therefore meant in the first place to non-professional folk art groups of a high artistic standard. For the sake of preservation the organisers prefer authentic folklore, but they accept adaptation to the stage.
