bavarikon highly appreciates welcoming a new partner, the Müllner Peter Museum in Sachrang! The collection of Peter Huber from Sachrang (1766 – 1843), also called "Müllner Peter" in accordance with the name of his family's farm, encompasses over 300 manuscripts and printed works. Largely, these are works of Church and sacred music, which are preserved at the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek and the Müllner Peter Museum.

One noteworthy feature of the collection is constituted by autographs, unique copies and works of the Munich composer Georg Augustin Holler (1744 – 1814), with whom Peter Huber was presumably personally acquainted.

The musical framework of the event was provided by the vocal ensemble "Hört, Hört!" with a number of pieces of the recently digitized sheet-music collection.
