The Choral Meeting of Alexandria is the only choral institution at the wider area of Alexandria and it takes place every spring, usually on May.
It started at 1996 to cover the need of hosting exchange for the Childrens’-Youngs’ Choir of Alexandria Municipality (Melissanthi) but soon enough it evolved into a strong institution that enchanced the local cultrural action and increased the pressure so as in 1998 the adult’s mixed choir Alexandrian Voices was founded as well.
Every year, apart from Melissanthi and Alexandrian Voices two or three more choirs from Greece or abroad take part as well. The guest choirs have the chance to tour in and around Alexandria. Usually, especially our visitors from far away are amazed by the Royal Macedonian Tombs of Aigai (Vergina), the Historical Museum of Nisi and of course the closed by cities of Veroia, Naousa and Thessaloniki.
The First Choral Meeting of Alexandria was at “Anesis Cinematheater” but all the rest have been taking place at Alexandria’s Town Hall. Of course we hope that the Cultural Centere of Alexandria will be soon finished and the event well be transfered there.
