The Music Biennale Zagreb, 22-29 April, 2017

The Music Biennale Zagreb is an international festival of contemporary music founded in 1961. During the festival’s days, in April every other year Zagreb is transformed into the cultural centre to which composers, music critics, the best musicians, and contemporary music and arts lovers from the region and Europe gravitate. The festival has a strong response as well as an incentive in its own environment. It would not be wrong to say that the time in combination with the geographical and political framework of the period when the Music Biennale was founded, have contributed considerably to Biennale’s success since the very beginning, which continued to shape the festival until today.
