“It’s an honour and most of all a special moment in my career as a musician. Adjudicating is definitely a rare and yet a very difficult task for me. I am more than certain that I will come back home enriched with new knowledge through this experience,” Ibarisha said.

It may be mentioned that there will be eight choir groups who will be participating from India – KC Lights (Meghalaya), the galand Chamber Choir (galand), the Ao ga Choir (galand), the Mizo Cardil Choir (Mizoram), the Salvation Singers (Mumbai), Beat Choir (Cheni), the Madras Musical Association Choir (Cheni) and the Sargam Choir (Cheni).

With the 4th Asia Pacific Choir Games 2017 being held in Colombo, the INTERKULTUR is eager to explore a new cultural area and tradition since this is the very first time that such an event will be held in South Asia.

Participants will also have the chance to attend workshops and semirs during the event.
