History

The Sankt Goar International Music Festival and Academy is the brainchild of internationally renowned German/Mexican tenor, former pianist and attorney-at-law Dr. Emilio Pons (www.emiliopons.com) and of German baritone Falko Hönisch (www.falkohoenisch.com).

SGIMFA was founded with the double aim of creating a unique venue for the study, promotion and performance of classical music, and reinvigorating the cultural offer of the beautiful Upper Middle Rhine Valley.
