Dear music lovers,

With this year's main theme, anima mundi, we turn our attention to our planet as a precious habitat and following Goethe's call " World-soul, come to fill our lives!" The careless use of valuable resources and the lack of awareness of global connections bring forth major consequences worldwide.

The unifying power of music serves as a precious chalice of life and allows us to perceive broader perspectives through important works of numerous composers. It inspires us toward insights and action and helps us to achieve a longed-for vision of a peaceful and sustainable future for humanity on this earth.

In the 46th season of Allegro Vivo, we are excited to open the doors of this year's Summer Academy and look forward to welcoming over 450 participants from all over the world!

A hearty welcome to you all!

Vahid Khadem-Missagh
Artistic Director
