2020 is proving to be an exceptional year, due to the spread of the COVID-19 health emergency. It

has put every area of our lives, both public and private, to the test, with serious consequences in the economic and working environment, as well as in the human and social relationships of each of us.

The Fondazione Pro Musica e Arte Sacra also had to face this dramatic emergency. We have tried

until the very end to keep to our long-planned commitments, but the implementation of the health protocols adapted to current regulations and the state of emergency has unfortunately forced the Fondazione Pro Musica e Arte Sacra to cancel the 19th International Festival of Sacred Music and Art, which was to be held in Barcelona, Spain from 12 to 14 September 2020 and in Rome and the Vatican from 11 to 17 November 2020 with the Wiener Philharmoniker as orchestra “in residence”.

The Fondazione Pro Musica e Arte Sacra announces that the 20th International Festival of Music and Sacred Art will take place on the following dates:

• on September 18, 2021 at 6pm in the Sagrada Família in Barcelona (Spain)
  with the concert of the Wiener Philharmoniker, Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 4, conducted by Christian Thielemann;
• and from 13 to 17 November 2021 in Rome and the Vatican.

The Fondazione Pro Musica e Arte Sacra greets with affection its supporters, friends and warm audience, confident to return soon to share the joy of live music and the splendour of the basilicas and churches that frame our Festival.
