The 2009 Lufthansa Festival of Baroque Music has come to an end.

The artists involved in the Lufthansa Festival of Baroque Music, which has taken place every year since 1984, also bring people together in a very special way. But what they bring home to us above all is that the sky we fly is not the limit. Their art touches the heavens and inspires us, filling us with delight and admiration. For that we are immensely grateful.

Our thanks go in equal measure to our wonderful, well-informed audience. Whether in St. John's, Smith's Square or in Westminster Abbey: this year, too, their expertise, concentration and involvement set the tone for the festival.

Finally, we would also like to express our warmest thanks to the Dean of Westminster and all his staff as well as our partners at St. John's, Smith Square.
