EUROPEAN GRAND PRIX FOR CHORAL SINGING | TOP FIVE CHOIRS IN THE WORLD

European Grand Prix For Choral Singing is the most prestigious choral competition in the world and sometimes labeled as "Olympics For Choral Singing". This video summarizes the Top Five Choirs In the World that won the most awards at the European Grand Prix For Choral Singing.

The European Grand Prix for Choral Singing (in French, Grand Prix Européen de Chant Choral, generally abbreviated as GPE) is an annual choral competition that pits the winners of six European choral competitions against one another. It first opened its doors in 1989.

Despite its name, the GPE is not limited to European choirs. Choirs from other countries are welcome to compete in any of the GPE's member cities' choral competitions.

Since 1995, one chorus from Japan, one from Argentina, one from Indonesia, and two from the United States have won the GPE, with two choirs from the Philippines and the United States winning the GPE twice. Furthermore, the competition is open to choirs of all ages; three of the grand prize-winning choruses are children's choirs.

The Philippine Madrigal Singers (1997 and 2007), APZ Tone Tomsic (2002 and 2008), Youth choir "Kamr..." (2004 and 2013), University of Utah Chamber Choir (renamed from the University of Utah Singers) (2006 and 2015), and Vesna Children's Choir have all won the EGP twice as of 2018. (2000 and 2017).

And in the summer of 2019, the youth choir "Kamr..." became the first and only choir in history to win the EGP three times (2004, 2013 and 2019).
