Dear lovers of music!

I am pleased to welcome you all to a very special music festival of religions here in the Ostallgäu – whether that is digitally or analogue. I believe religion and music to be a wonderful combination. These give us guidance and a sense of wellbeing and home.

At Musica Sacra International music and religion come together in a very unique way – so that the festival becomes a spiritual experience for both the musicians as well as the listeners. Peace, communication across cultures and community define Musica Sacra International. The festival is a comforting anchor within the world’s stormy turmoil. The people who get together here, love music and use it to celebrate the things they have in common.

It is a great honour for the Ostallgäu that such a prestigious festival is taking place in our district. Musical highlights, exceptional insights and exciting experiences are waiting for us all. I would also like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone, who makes Musica Sacra International possible, here in the Ostallgäu and beyond – the organisational team, helpers and of course the musicians. I hope that all those listening will have a great time at the concerts – whether digitally or analogue! 

Sincerely,
Maria Rita Zinnecker, District Commissioner Ostallgäu
