Christoph Ehrenfellner
"My great-grandfather was an organist, a village school teacher - and thus also music band director - in Pregarten in Upper Austria. My mother was an organist and choir director in Henndorf near Salzburg. Therefore at the age of 5 I was already singing the sacred music of Mozart in the choir and as a member of the Viennese Boys Choir in the Vienna Hofburg Chapel this bonds deepened. Although my horizons have broadened considerably as a successful opera composer and symphonist, the nucleus of my creativity - let us say the sublimity of musical thinking and feeling - has always been in sacred music."
