Thessaloniki, Greece
Thessaloniki, a seaside town whose history dates back more than 2300 years, is located in northern Greece; it is the second largest city in terms of population. It is a major economic, industrial and political center and a major transport hub for the rest of South East Europe with its airport and commercial port.
The pleasant Mediterranean climate and the hospitality of the inhabitants of this historic city guarantee you an unforgettable stay.
Thessaloniki offers a particular archaeological and cultural interest. The choirs can thus combine their participation in the Festival with the visit of the historical monuments of the city and the surroundings.
The International Festival of Musical Comedy Choirs is an innovative idea of the President and members of the Korais Choir Council in their quest to enhance the vocal color and performance of a choir. The Musical Comedy combines words, music, movement and the technical aspects of animation through famous films and musical performances performed in European and American theaters.
The Festival is dedicated to Peace, Friendship, Fraternity and the Entente between Peoples.
