Whereas the Symposium convenes approximately 1,500 delegates from around the

Whereas the Sixth World Symposium on Choral Music is a global event of the 
        International Federation for Choral Music, hosted by the American Choral

Whereas Symposium delegates will study a wide range of choral topics, hear 25 
        choirs performing music indigenous to their regions of the world, meet 
        with colleagues from more than 60 countries, be the first to experience 
        new choral works by 10 renowned composers, enjoy some of the finest 
        choral music of Minnesota and the Nation, and visit an expanded World 
        Choral Expo featuring music industry exhibits;
Whereas a prestigious group of Minnesota business and community leaders have 
        offered their expertise and guidance, bringing Symposium delegates the

        Plaza, the Cathedral of Saint Paul, the Minneapolis Convention Center,

the spirit of cross-cultural understanding that this event will bring
