The German Support Association "Förderverein der Freunde der Fondazione Pro Musica e Arte Sacra E.V."

Since its inception eighteen years ago the International Festival of Sacred Music and Art has established itself as one of the most prestigious cultural events in the Eternal City and all over Italy. This development is based on the altruistic intention aligned with the cultural activities of the Fondazione Pro Musica e Arte Sacra. In fact, the Fondazione Pro Musica e Arte Sacra seeks to link its support of the precious heritage of sacred music with the objective to restore the treasures of sacred art in the Vatican and the City of Rome and thereby to preserve human heritage. We believe that especially today it is important to point out the European dimension of this mission as European culture and art in the past as well as in the present have been shaped deeply by Christianity. The formidable and consistently successful activities of the Fondazione Pro Musica e Arte Sacra merit and simultaneously require our promotion and financial support. The sustained interest of the German-speaking countries in the activities of the Fondazione Pro Musica e Arte Sacra led to the establishment of the charitable association “Förderverein der Freunde der Fondazione Pro Musica e Arte Sacra e.V.”. The Association, founded on May 16th 2008 by important figures from Germany, the Principality of Liechtenstein and from Austria, who, based on their Christian faith as well as their professional and public reputation have become role models within their group of stakeholders.

It is the aim of the Association to promote art, culture and respectively research activities in the field. In conjunction with the aims of the Fondazione Pro Musica e Arte Sacra to promote projects of sacred music and to preserve and restore the treasures of sacred art, the Association dedicates its support to the realization of these objectives. The aims allocated within the statute are mainly implemented by:

• the concerts of the International Festival of Sacred Music and Art for the valorisation and promulgation of sacred music
• exhibitions of sacred art in the Vatican
• festivals, competitions, seminars, workshops, radio and TV broadcasts for promoting culture as well as sacred art and music;
• training courses in sacred art and music and research projects in the field.
