We are very grateful, that we were able to win some prestigious patrons for our festival throughout the last few years. “

Singing together connects across language and national boundaries. The International Children’s Choir Festival Dresden gives young people this experience at a high musical level. I am pleased to be the patron of this event.

The German writer E.T.A. Hoffmann once said: „Where language ends, music starts.” Music is a language everyone understands, it connects and overcomes boundaries. The International Children’s Choir Festival Dresden is a very special example for this.
