A Brief about ICF and IICC
ITB Choir Festival is firstly held by PSM ITB in 1968 and was participated by choir teams from all around Indonesia. ICF ITB has produced choir teams that are able to compete in international scale. In 2010, PSM ITB enhanced the level of the competition and thus, 1st ITB International Choir Competition was born.
As the oldest choir festival in Indonesia, ICF has became one of the most challenging choir competition in the country. There is no doubt that the competition is always tight. Even so, the ICF and IICC committee wants the participants not only to compete, but also gain something from the competition. "Therefore, we conduct the workshop so that the participants can get their musical knowledge widen," stated Angelia, Chief of Materials Division of ICF XXIV ITB and 2nd IICC. "Moreover, this year's ICF will be held altogether with IICC, so the workshop will also be attended by music expertises from around the world," she added.
IFC ITB and IICC is admittedly held in order to support the national as well as international choir. Therefore, Indonesian citizens and music expertises are expected to keep supporting the event so that music, especially Indonesian music can keep echoing all over the world.
