Chur gets a house of choirs
The Chur City Council has held an ideas competition for the use of the former Chur City Library building. The House of Choirs and the Zapperlot children's and youth theater on the top floor are now being considered for two floors.
There was a great response to the ideas competition, with the city receiving a total of 52 project ideas. All submissions were reviewed by a multi-member evaluation committee according to predefined criteria.
The House of Choirs aims to position Chur as a singing city and create a meeting place for guests and locals. The idea is based on the tradition of choirs in Graubünden. The mix appeals not only to musicians, but also to strollers through the old town, cultural travelers, song lovers and choirs from all over the world, according to the city's press release.
The Zapperlot project promotes children's and youth culture, shapes the coexistence of generations in the city of Chur and creates a cultural space for a wide range of target groups. Theater Zapperlot has been in existence for 20 years and has been looking for new premises for a long time.
