"For many years now, OTHER MUSIC and "Yiddish Summer" have enriched the cultural life of Weimar in a manner equally surprising and infatuating. On its own initiative and without major municipal or federal assistance, OTHER MUSIC has brought a new spirit to Weimar. This spirit is not only good for the image of this city whose history straddles both high culture and barbarism; it is above all good for our own intellectual and emotional well-being. The people who come here from all over the world to transform Weimar in the summer into an annual, city-wide intercultural festival of "other music" with workshops, sessions, and concerts, are among the most important standard bearers of the future for our City of European Culture".

Stefan WOLF, Mayor of Weimar

"OTHER MUSIC is an important and innovative organization that has grown and deepened over the years, branching out now in compelling new ways that explore cultural identity and tradition in today's world. With projects such as 'Yiddish Summer Weimar' and 'The Other Europeans,' OTHER MUSIC fosters a deep interaction with the Jewish world, and the Jewish creative world in particular. Through teaching, workshops, concerts, improvisation, symposia and research, Jewish culture is being transmitted and – importantly – created in ways that are truly alive."
