The artistic goal of this festival is to provide a unique opportunity for choristers and conductors of different ethnic, traditional, and musical backgrounds to perform and hear complex choral pieces of different styles, and to share their knowledge and experience in choral sacred music. Similarly, it will revitalize interest in ethnic choral sacred music and provide an opportunity for non-church going audiences to listen to a wide range of ethnic sacred choral music.Artistic evaluation will be based upon the performance quality as perceived by the participants, their directors and the audience. The performance will be digitally recorded providing effective means for analysis. The OC will use paper surveys to collect feedback and evaluate the size of the audience. Online surveys will be offered to receive more detailed feedback in the week following the festival.
