“The Summa Cum Laude International Youth Music Festival once again brings young people from all over the world to Austria to communicate in the language of music and come to understand each other better. (…) I am very pleased that the Festival has already secured its place among the European music festivals, presenting a diverse and inspiring program each year. On that note, I warmly welcome the young artists and wish everyone involved great success and very pleasant memories to take home with them from Austria.”
Alexander Van der Bellen
‘I am very happy that many young artists will visit our beautiful city for the Summa Cum Laude International Youth Music Festival at Musikverein in 2010. A comprehensive program has been prepared for the young singers and musicians. The workshops and competitions create musical incentives and deepen the international contacts between the young artists. I would therefore like to wish all participants every possible success and an inspiring stay in Vienna. I am convinced that the festival isan unforgettable event for both the musicians and the audience.’
