Support the Foundation
The members of the Circle of Friends of the Foundation support with their contribution the preservation of sacred music, the organization of extraordinary concerts and the annual International Festival of Sacred Music and Art.
They are regularly informed about the Foundation's activities in the current year and receive invitations to all the concerts, the Festival and all the Foundation's activities related to sacred music.
All those who want to support the Fondazione Pro Musica e Arte Sacra with their financial commitment and provide a contribution, enable the achievement of the institutional goals of the Foundation and help to spread sacred music and to preserve those wonderful sacred artistic assets that are part of the Heritage of Humanity.
To sponsor a concert of the Foundation or the International Festival of Sacred Music and Art means for a company to contribute to the realization of an event of significant musical importance for the international quality of the artists. In this way, companies enjoy excellent visibility among a selected international audience, assuming that culture is a corporate value.
The highlight of the Foundation's activities is the annual International Festival of Sacred Music and Art with the Vienna Philharmonic. Various extraordinary concerts of sacred music are added, to celebrate anniversaries or for collaborative projects with prestigious musical institutions as well as other cultural events.
