June 11 marked the culmination of the 7th edition ofA vos marques, prêts… Chantez ! with the participatory concert Choirs of the world bringing together more than 4,000 spectators at the Zénith de Strasbourg.
This musical performance was conceived as a journey through a day, a year, with its seasons. A departure from home to travel the world, enrich oneself through experiences, and return transformed—broader, more open, and nourished by art. Through a succession of songs from French, Argentinian, African, and Slavic traditions, the performance invited audiences on this musical voyage.
*"Turning our differences into a source of personal enrichment"* was the guiding principle of this large-scale project, which brought together nearly 1,000 singers—both adults and children—including the *Maîtrise de l’Opéra national du Rhin*, accompanied by the *Orchestre du Rhin*. This project also provided an opportunity for the association to build new partnerships with institutions such as the socio-educational institutes of Sélestat and Diemeringen. It was a deeply moving experience for the 60 teenagers who took part in the performance. A significant part of the artistic work was developed in collaboration with the **Ballet de Danse Physique Contemporaine** (BDPC), directed by **David Llari**, artist-in-residence at the *Centre Chorégraphique de Strasbourg*. David worked closely with several local dance companies, including **Dounya** (African dance) and **Azul** (Latin dance), to create stunning dance sequences. The BDPC also played a key role in engaging the participating singers, leading workshops during the monthly sessions and working with the *Maîtrise* to integrate dance movements into the singing. For many singers, this was an incredibly enriching experience.
