“The motto of the Winter Music Festival remains unchanged – with roots in the earth and music in the soul. We want this to be a wonderful experience for all of us together – both for the music school children and their families, and for everyone who has music at heart. The festival is the joy of being together, of making music, self-surpassing and also growth.
