WORLD CHOIR GAMES: WEDNESDAY

The World Choir Games have taken Cincinnati by storm! From free concerts at local parks to the intense competitions of champions, we have sincerely earned the moniker, "The City That Sings."


Choral festivities began Wednesday with a free Friendship Concert at Smale Riverfront Park featuring performers from Turkey, China, and Nigeria.

En route home, I strolled passed a group competing from Kalamazoo, Michigan, who were belting out The Beatles in the Blue Wisp Jazz Club.

Four choirs, four different countries, four different continents. And that was just Wednesday.
