Ladies and Gentlemen,<br />
dear participants, friends and supporters of the<br />
International Franz Schubert Choir Competition<br />
<strong>2014</strong> in <strong>Vienna</strong>,<br />
Our Wien-Lichtental Schubert Society is celebrating<br />
its thirtieth anniversary this year.<br />
Inspired by the founding idea of our unforgettable<br />
honorary president, Father Dr Paul Varga, we<br />
have striven all these years to foster and uphold<br />
Franz Schubert’s monumental musical work<br />
right at the place of its creation, and in all its<br />
dimensions.<br />
Beside his church music, the Lieder, the symphonies<br />
and the chamber music, it is above all the<br />
choir music which is our special concern.<br />
My thanks go to all of you for participating and<br />
collaborating, and to our partners in INTERKUL-<br />
TUR for their sterling work in preparing and organising<br />
this great music event.<br />
May this competition generate renewed joy in<br />
Schubert’s music and other masters, and may it<br />
prove a memorable experience for all.<br />
I wish all the singers an enjoyable and successful<br />
competition!<br />
Dr Stefan Zapotocky
