Choirs that do not come from Germany can be hosted by a partner choir in a German (arch)diocese and thus spend a few extra days in Germany. After several days of leisure and singing together as well as a sending out service, the choirs travel together to the festival in Munich. Registration for the Pre-Festival is already closed.
