Let the sparks fly!

It's here. The opening concert of this year's festival. With the brilliant Macedonian pianist Simon Trpčeski as our new artist in residence, our search for innovative and intricate programmes, which will provide beautiful music and send our minds and souls on a journey, focuses on the Balkans. Its cultural diversity, and lavish musical heritage proved to be an Aladdin’s cave full of sparkling gems and musical treasures just waiting to be discovered.

The electrifying mixture of influences of both eastern and western musical traditions provides a perfect background for our opening concert, showcasing music by Kogoj, Liszt, Kodály and Enescu. It's going to be an evening full of elan and spontaneity, grand gestures, and even bigger emotions – a firework indeed!

We can't think of a better overture for the Festival Maribor 2021. So do join us, let's celebrate together. Even if the times are hard, there is so much to celebrate! Music, friendship, love, creativity... Life!

 

PS: As always, Festival Maribor is a celebration for everyone, all tastes, and all generations. Check out our concerts for toddlers, children and families.  And for all in need of an opportunity to unwind and let themselves go (wild), we have the fiery Džambo Aguševi Orchestra on offer. Sparks flying? You bet!
