In workshops, the choirs work on a repertoire of pieces with a specific festival theme under the guidance of renowned international choirmasters. The results of the workshops are presented to a large audience at the final concert. The choirs also present pieces from their home countries in encounter concerts.<\/p><p><strong>JOY &#8211; Guiding theme of the EUROTREFF 2027<\/strong><\/p><p>The joy that brings us together<\/p><p>Joy is more than just a feeling \u2013 it is a language understood all over the world. Under the motto \u2018Joy\u2019, we celebrate the thrill of singing, making music and sharing experiences together at the EUROTREFF Youth and Children\u2019s Choir Festival. When voices come together, moments full of energy, togetherness and bliss are created. It really brings home the fact that joy grows when you share it.<\/p><p>Children and young people from different countries come together to share their passion for music. This shows that joy connects people across national borders, languages and cultures. Many different voices come together to create a great shared sound \u2013 a symbol of openness, friendship and solidarity.<\/p><p>Joy stands for the joy of music, of international encounters, of friendships across borders and of unforgettable shared experiences. In this way, Joy becomes more than just a motto: it is a message of community that is carried out into the world from this festival.<\/p><p><strong>One festival &#8211; three goals.<\/strong><\/p><p>1. to provide new musical impulses for young choirs<br \/>2. encounters between cultures, encounters on site in Wolfenb\u00fcttel and encounters with themselves as young musicians<br \/>3. participatory development of an umbrella organisation protection concept for the AMJ<\/p><p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee3404c elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"ee3404c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0f3ca8b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0f3ca8b\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"faq\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-569d64d\" data-id=\"569d64d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cc6f6cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cc6f6cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">FAQ<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f7cfedb color-grey elementor-widget elementor-widget-accordion\" data-id=\"f7cfedb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2591\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2591\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Are the concerts already planned?
