INTERNATIONAL PHILHARMONY FOUNDATION
founded in Kassel, Germany 1992
CONSTITUTION
“The man who has no music in himself
nor is not moved
with the concord of sweet sounds
is fit for treason, stratagems and spoils:
The motions of his spirit are dull as night
and his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.”
Shakespeare
THE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE
INTERNATIONAL PHILHARMONY FOUNDATION
Based on the experience that even great ideologies and forms of organisations, which are materially richly equipped are transient – if they do not observe and support the principles of natural harmony,

and also based on the practical knowledge of the concrete consequences of the loss of such simple knowledge, particularly among the leading public figures, as well as the people,
  1. free citizens of the world

    have established a constitution

    with the aim of harmony

    in the whole world,
whose non-material declaration of belief in natural harmony of the individual within himself, with his fellow men and with nature is brought to bear as opposed to disharmony and inhuman destructive practice,

whereby they base their support on that cultural genius of the great classical composers, which until this day for many centuries has acquired undivided appreciation everywhere in the world – indeed whose creations have become the quintessence of respected culture beyond all religious, ideological and linguistic barriers.
