Dear Bp. Herman Y. Tan yang baik, serta rekan-rekan milis terkasih pemerhati
musik Sakral Gereja.
Perkenankan saya menyampaikan pengumuman bahwa pada tanggal 17 Juli s/d 20 Juli
2009 akan diselenggarakan sebuah Festival Paduan Suara Musik Sakral
Internasional di kota Roma dan kota Vatikan.
Memang saya agak sedikit terlambat mengumumkan berita ini, karena pendaftaran
untuk mengikuti Festival ditutup pada tanggal 15 Maret yang lalu. Tetapi, bagi
anda sekalian yang hendak menyertakan Paduan Suara kalian untuk Festival yang
sama tahun depan, masih terbuka peluangnya. Dan bagi yang ingin menyaksikan,
masih ada waktu untuk mengurus Visa ke Italia.
Sekilas saya sertakan di sini Surat Undangan dari Penyelenggara Festival dan
Formulir Pendaftarannya. Bagi yang tidak dapat menerima atau membuka lampiran,
silahkan hubungi saya via japri, atau dapat pula melihat informasi lengkapnya

Terima kasih atas kesempatan yang telah diberikan. Semoga informasi bermanfaat.
Warm regards.

V INTERNATIONAL MUSIC CHOIR FESTIVAL
Rome and the Vatican City July 17th - 20th, 2009
Next edition: July 16th - 19th 2010
Rome, the city of history, the city of art, the city of Christianity. Imagine
yourself singing in this perfect scenario, with centuries of art and culture
all around you. Imagine meeting other singers and music lovers from all over
the world in a city that has been the cradle of civilization. Imagine combining
the emotions of a musical performance with an all-round artistic experience.
Can you think of a better place for a music festival? Well, we couldn’t. That
is why we planned the International Sacred Music Choir Festival.
Dear Choirmasters, Choristers and Friends of choral music, it is with great joy
that I invite you and your choir to the beautiful City of Rome for the V
International Sacred Music Choir Festival which will be held July 17th – 20th,
2009. You will have the unique opportunity to sing in the most beautiful Roman
Basilicas and Churches, and perform during the Holy Mass in St. Peter's
Basilica or other Roman churches.
Last but not least, you will take part in the marvellous Choir parade and/or in
open air concerts in the streets of the Eternal City. For further details,
please contact the Festival Secretariat which will be glad to answer all your
queries.
We hope, dear choir conductors and singers, that you will take part in our
festival and take this unique chance to meet other choirs from all over the
world in the most beautiful possible setting. Looking forward to meeting you in
Rome and having a wonderful time together, we remain with best regards.
