Code of Conduct

"Musica Sacra International" stands for a peaceful dialogue between people of different religious traditions and cultures since 1992. It is about highlighting similarities and differences, always characterized by mutual respect, trust and tolerance.

The festival is a place of free thought, free religious practice and respectful behavior. In interreligious dialogue, religious beliefs and practices come together, which can also become a challenge for each other. Reciprocal missionisation is not in the interest of the festival; instead, it is intended to deepen the understanding and experience of each other's and our own religious traditions.

The prerequisite for such understanding are a few ethical rules and attitudes: We reject any form of group-related misanthropy: racism and ethnic exclusion, misogyny, homophobia and transphobia, religious discrimination such as anti-Semitism/anti-Judaism or anti-Muslim sentiment, devaluation based on appearance, age, physical characteristics or social class affiliation.

We advocate for an inclusive society and culture that enables cultural and religious participation for all and explicitly promotes diversity and plurality.

We therefore request and expect everyone involved in the festival to treat each other with respect and kindness, regardless of religious and political views or cultural backgrounds.

The management of the “Musica Sacra International” festival ensures that these premises are observed by everyone involved.
