2019 International Peace Vocal Competition
“Peace . Passion . Compassion” to sing for peace, love and friendship
Harmony For Peace believes in the magical power of music. At every concert presented by Harmony For Peace, our young musicians perform musical pieces to express and spread its mission of “peace, love, and compassion for all” through the power of music – a message of “ You are not forgotten”.
We are now reaching out to many young people who love to sing and have love and compassion to spread his, her or their wings more through their vocal power. This competition is for them.
This competition is to provide an opportunity to many young vocalists to compete at a world stage, audition and win among many fellow vocalists from many parts of the world, of many different background and culture.
The winner(s) will be featured at our Peace Concerts. They will be presented at our programs in 2019.
