Dear music lovers,

As we enter our 47th festival season we dedicate ourselves to a special musical theme at Allegro Vivo this year. Over the centuries, various attempts have been made to explore the aspects of human characteristics, influencing the worlds of philosophy and art.

Music, in particular, mirrors the vast spectrum of human emotions, both in composition and interpretation. The balance of a work of art and the distinctiveness of its musical realization powerfully highlight these characteristics. The term "Well-Tempered", especially since Johann Sebastian Bach, has gained special significance in this context.

We are excited to open the doors of our international summer academy and look forward to engage with over 500 young talents from across the globe.

A hearty welcome to you all!

Vahid Khadem-Missagh
Artistic Director
