The Takarazuka International Chamber Chorus Contest(TICC) is organized by the TICC committee since 1984, with the purpose of spreading the "Chamber Chorus" performed by a small number of singers as the original style of choral music and also contributing to the international exchange through music.
The most distinctive part is that the competition is carried out in each categories set by genre of music, not by type of voices. Participants are selected by preliminary screening in advance. The only selected groups can go on the stage of Vega Hall with very good acoustic. Following the contest, special concert is held for prize-winners and both participants and audience enjoy the festival of choral music. Once a year, chorus lovers get together from all over the world and enjoy singing beyond the border of countries to share their love for music here in Takarazuka.
