The resonant sounds of sacred music, from medieval chants to contemporary commissions, will once again fill Bogotá as the 14th edition of the International Sacred Music Festival (FIMSAC) opens on September 10. Since its creation in 2011, the International Sacred Music Festival of Bogotá has grown into one of Latin America’s most prominent cultural gatherings. Piotrowka say these accolades reflect the festival’s dual role: to showcase world-class artists and to nurture Colombia’s own contributions to sacred music. In a city where free outdoor rock and jazz festivals attract tens of thousands, Bogotá’s Sacred Music Festival offers something quieter but no less ambitious. It situates sacred music within the cultural calendar as both heritage and living practice.
