Ketevan World Sacred Music Festival to be held in Goa from Feb 21

Panaji, Feb 13 (UNI) The fourth edition of Ketevan World Sacred Musical Festival will be held at Old Goa from February 21 to 24, 2019.
The Ketevan World Sacred Music Festival, located in Old Goa, combines sacred music traditions from different eras from the East and the West inspired by the life of St Ketevan, Queen of Georgia. The Ketevan world Sacred Music Festival is a project of music and religious coexistence, connecting and fostering dialogue among cultures.
Like an oasis, different cultures have existed and coexisted in Old Goa (World Heritage City declared by UNESCO in 1986). Throughout history, many centuries ago, the relics of St. Ketevan were brought from the Middle East to Old Goa. They were found just a few years ago after being buried for almost 400 years.
