Music for the Spirit Festival


event_main_4815

It is hard to separate music from spirituality, as it can be said that music always has a certain spiritual aspect. It has a tremendous power to reach and touch the human spirit in amazing ways. Music, in this sense, transcends time, places, boundaries and even language.

Music Director Manfred Honeck continues to explore the relationship between spirituality and music in the inaugural Music for the Spirit Festival, an extraordinary city-wide series of concerts, lectures, a book club and special events. Through Music for the Spirit, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra demonstrates its deep commitment to the power of music to promote and spread a spiritual and universal message.
