At the same time, there will be space for choir conductors and managers, publishers, composers, professors, artists, lecturers, experts and the public to meet and exchange ideas.

The opening ceremony of the chor.com will take place on Thursday, September 26 at the Forum. Christian Wulff, President of the German Choral Association, together with Stephan Doormann, Artistic Director of chor.com, and representatives from the city of Hannover and the federal state of Niedersachsen will welcome all participants, exhibitors and trade visitors. The young male chamber choir ffortissibros will provide the musical prelude to four days of chor.com.

The program also includes cultural-political talks in which artists, cultural professionals and experts in their field shed light on the latest topics in the choral scene.

Visitors of the Forum can also look forward to the interactive installation "Song Along". It provides an invitation to share songs that have touched people in their lives. Shared on colorful cards, the songs create a visual sound collage that echoes a wealth of memories and personal stories. The installation was created by Studio komplementaer from Cologne for Vision Kirchenmusik and offers an opportunity to pause, talk and reflect on courage, hope, crises and much more. From Friday to Sunday, chor.com also starts with open singing, which is based on the "Song Along" installation.
