In his welcoming address, District Administrator Allgaier emphasized that the promotion of music is of great importance to the district council and to him personally. The district has therefore been happy to support the regional competition for many years. He also thanked the jury members of the two-day competition, most of whom teach at the music schools: "Our music schools in the district are very well positioned. It is your commitment and the high musical quality that you teach the children and young people in music lessons that makes these great results possible."
