Music on Samos

Each year in August, talented international young artists are invited to perform in concert at the Samos Young Artists Festival in Greece.

The Greek conductor, composer and professor Konstantia Gourzi is the artistic director of the festival 2012. She places the fusion of different musical epochs and genres at the heart of the program: classical music and improvisation come together and melt into one.

The Samos Young Artists Festival is intended to serve as a creative center for the residents of Samos, its audience and artists. It should provide inspiration through its new style of musical encounter and illuminate beyond the coasts of the island.
