Dear choir members, At the end of the 1990’s we have established MWS Festivals with the aim to bring together music, culture, and leisure under a single programme. We therefore started looking for friendly and open countries and cities to play host to our series of events. As a result of this, today we have had festivals in Hungary, Ireland, Spain and Sweden on a regular basis. Over the course of the years the festivals arranged by us have become well-known both for the general public and the local musical organisations. Although MWS Festivals and its events have undergone significant changes both in terms of quality and quantity (e.g. an ever-increasing audience), our basic mission remained the same; that is to facilitate the exchange of experience and share music between amateur choirs from all over the world while giving an opportunity for some “time out” in fascinating cities and places. We hope that you and your choir is interested in visiting one of our festivals and we look forward to hearing from you soon. Our local management and staff are most happy to give guidance on how to participate in any of our widely known programmes. Thomas Molnar President of MWS Festivals Stockholm, Sweden
