Casa dei Mezzo Music Festival 2012
Gunnar Strømsholm 2012 will mark the ninth year of The Casa dei Mezzo Music Festival - described by The Sunday Times Online as 'the most unique and intimate classical music Summer festival in Europe' - and the only exciting classical music festival on Crete offering a dynamic programme to complement the fascinating cultural heritage of this magnificent island. Our festivals last for six days and feature 12 concerts. Most festival events take place at the Villa Casa dei Mezzo in Makrigialos but one lunchtime concert is always held in the atmospheric ruins of the old Venetian Villa 'De Mezzo', in the nearby village of Etia. Over the years our festival has been very proud to welcome many really outstanding artists, and these are often artists with significant international careers. Our artists stay in Makrigialos throughout the festival and this helps to create that very special and unique atmosphere so much enjoyed by artists and audiences alike. The next festival will take place from Thursday 21 to Tuesday 26 June 2012. A list of participating artists will be released in January 2012 and the programme in April with tickets available soon after. I look forward to welcoming you to the next festival. Gunnar Strømsholm
Every year the Casa dei Mezzo Music Festival, Makrigialos, Crete, goes from strength to strength and this year was no exception.
Our 2011 festival brought together 21 internationally acclaimed artists from France, FYROM, Germany, Greece, Norway and Spain with a six day programme that included works by more than 40 composers ranging from Purcell (1659-1695), Beethoven (1770-1827), Liszt (1811-1886), Hadjidakis (1925-1994) to Sleeper (1956-). And, in addition to the classical works, there was also an exciting and varied programme of works by our local musicians and composers. |
