 Foreword

As mayor of the capital-city Salzburg it makes me happy that Chorus MM organizes the 11th, 12th and 13th International CANTUS MM Choir & Orchestra festival 2009, 2010, 2011 in Salzburg. Orchestras and choirs from all over the world meet thereby in our beautiful city, in order to sing and to make music. As particularly inspiring I feel the fact that culture benefit and solidarity go "hand in hand" at the CANTUS MM Choir and Orchestra festival. I wish a beautiful festival to the supervisors, the artists and their audience and look forward to a clear indication, which is indispensable for an alive culture and music city!
