SUPPORT THE FOUNDATION

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.

BECOME A SPONSOR

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.

FOLLOW THE ACTIVITIES

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.
