The Arad International Autumn Musical Festival

07-21.11.2024

The 11th edition of the Arad International Autumn Musical Festival (November 7-21, 2024), prepared to welcome you to the Philharmonic in six of the most special evenings of November, is an edition for all ages, for adults and for children, for those who love symphonic music, but also opera, for those who seek to get into the deepest territories of chamber music or to discover the history so old and spectacular of the organ music, but also for those who love illustrative art and add additional images and colors to the listening pleasure.
