Festival Maribor

Just as perfumery, it is a subtle and delicate art of selecting, combining, contrasting and blending, the precious ingredients being carefully chosen musicians, their personalities, artistic credos and expressions and the music, its genres and periods, atmosp...

Save the date!

Festival Maribor is proudly announcing its 2019 programme, which is all about crossing the boundaries, breaking the moulds, wiping out borders and connecting the (seemingly) unconnectable.
