The invitation is for “all choirs of boys, girls and youths who wish to participate in the festival as a preparation for the next World Youth Day, which will also take place in the city of Cologne, Germany,” the organizers explain.
From July 11-13, the visiting choirs will be the guests of the dioceses all over Germany. They will perform throughout Germany. From July 14-18, the visiting choirs and their German hosts will meet in Cologne for the grand finale.
