The 35-member chorus was presented with a gold medal for folk singing, a special prize for the chorus most loved by audiences and a prize for the best impressive style of presentation.

Chau Anh, founder of the country’s children chorus, expressed sincere thanks to composer Hoang Luong, leaders of Wernigerode as well as the Overseas Vietnamese community in Germany.

Bui Manh Cuong, Counselor of the Vietnamese Embassy in Germany, highly praised the Sol-Art performance, saying the prize for the most favourite chorus showed that Vietnam’s children chorus won German’s hearts.

Mr. Cuong expressed his deep gratitude to leaders and people of Wernigerode, and sponsors who had created favourable conditions for the chorus to complete its task successfully.

The festival, which was held from July 7-10 drew the participation of 43 choruses, including 1,200 members, from 17 countries and territories over the world.
