“It’s been 2 weeks since we got back from Prague, yet we still think of that trip.
The festival and the whole trip was filled with wonderful musical experiences.
Many great bands performed at the concerts, from a few different countries. The groups presented very high quality performances, spreading the joy of music at the same time, breaking any boundaries between all of us.
We would like to send greetings to all the contestants of MRF Music Festivals and we hope for many more meetings like these!”

Hosay (Carrickfergus Posy), Thiemo Kraas (Vita pro Musica), Jacob de Haan (Oregon) and Csardas by Vittorio Monti (solo accordion: Torben Völkening) and won the hearts of the audience, earning a standing ovation. As a proof of appreciation the orchestra from the Schaumburg district obtained a diploma from the host, which is the fourth one to complete the collection of diplomas from events in Tuscany (2015), Venice (2016) and Cracow (2017). Also Ratsband’s rendering of Edvard Grieg’s ballad and Stefan Nilsson’s Gabriellas Song at the end of the joint concert staged in St. Stephen’s Basilica by all 700 participants held huge appeal to the audience. Sightseeing points on the agenda included visiting: Gellért Hill , Matthias Church located in the castle district, Fisherman’s Bastion and Central Market Hall, trips to Danube Bend and Lake Balaton, where an impromptu concert was put on for the residents of Siofok town.”

“Finns and Italians, Poles and Greeks, the Irish and Spaniards – the 3rd International Choir Festival in Krakow gathered singers of many nationalities, including also Städtischer Musikverein Lippstadt. Communication was not a problem because all of these singers shared one common language: the language of music. Motets and folk songs, cantatas and catchy songs – the musical range of styles that the European choirs brought with them was as varied as the languages in which these pieces were sung. Already the grand opening concert of the festival in one of the most beautiful churches of Cracow, the St.-Peter and Paul Church, was an impressive experience for both the participants and the audience. The two songs performed at the very beginning by the choir from Lippstadt, headed by Burkhard A. Schmitt, gave shivers of excitement to many choir members, caused both by the wonderful acoustics of the Baroque building and the fact that so many people of different backgrounds made music together. The choir opened also the first of three festival evening concerts in the concert hall of the Cracow Music Academy. During the concerts, about 50 singers presented a wide range of their skills. The pieces which they presented to the Crakow audience included the classics of choral music, such as “Locus iste” by Anton Bruckner and the “Evening Song (Abendlied)” by Josef Rheinberger, as well as modern pieces such as “When the Stars fall” by Canadian composer Stephen Hatfield. The hosts responded particularly enthusiastic to the closing performance of “Cantus gloriosus” by  Polish composer Józef Swider. After their successful performances, on the same and on the following night, the choir members had the opportunity to enjoy many and varied encounters with the singers of other participating choirs. When they were not singing, the participants of the festival compensated the lacking foreign language skills with body language and gestures. This, however, did not harm the high-spirited atmosphere of the festival, which was also present during common dinners. Singing accompanied even common returns to the hotel: at a late hour, in the joyful atmosphere of Cracow and its cultural wealth, the guests from Lippstadt could not resist presenting samples of their repertoire in the middle of the famous old town square. When the members of the choir came back home after this musical experiene, everyone agreed that Cracow is worth every concert tour!”

Germany


“On behalf of the Cantilena Mixed Choir Association, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to participate in the International Festival of Choirs and Orchestras in Budapest.
