Introduction
The Taipei International Choral Festival (TICF) is the most prestigious and extensive choral carnival held biennially by Taipei Philharmonic Foundation in the end of July. Gathering several outstanding choirs invited from all around the world, as well as excellent local artists, TICF appeals to not only tens of thousands of local audiences, but also a great number of choral fans from south-east Asia to the United States.

This year, we are honor to introduce Kammerchor Stuttgart of Germany, Tapiola Chamber Choir of Finland, Show Choir- Synergy！of U.S.A., St. John’s College Choir of South Africa, The Chanters Group of the Church of St. Panteleimon The Healer from Georgia Republic, and The Idea of North from Australia.

Every evening during 26^th July to 1^st August 2008, you can participate in concerts featuring the performing groups mentioned above to enjoy the multicultural atmosphere that they bring to us.
