INTERKULTUR World Rankings

World rankings as of November 2018

For over twenty years the INTERKULTUR competitions have been amongst the most innovative events in the international choral scene. All competitions have been carried out according to the MUSICA MUNDI quality seal. This makes possible an impressive overall comparison of all choirs / ensembles that have participated in INTERKULTUR competitions.

The INTERKULTUR World Rankings has retroactive effect back to the year 2000.

Additional to the Top 1000, individual lists of the 50 best choirs/ensembles are made which reflect the situation in the various categories:

  • Children’s and Youth Choirs.
  • Mixed Choirs.
  • Female Choirs.
  • Male Choirs.
  • Chamber Choirs and Vocal Ensembles.
  • Sacred Music, Music of the Religions.
  • Pop, Jazz, Gospel, Spiritual & Barbershop Choirs, Music of Spirit and Faith.
  • Folklore.

The assignment of the individual lists is subject to the competition categories, in which the respective results were achieved. In each case the highest rating in these separate lists will enter the Top 1000 rankings from the many thousands of choirs that compete.
