The story

March Music Days Ruse in Ruse

March Music Days has run in Ruse since 1961, making it one of Bulgaria's longest-established classical music festivals. Held every March, it fills the Danube river town's concert halls with orchestral, chamber, and solo performances by Bulgarian and international musicians across roughly three weeks, ranging from historical classics to jazz and contemporary composition. It runs under the patronage of Bulgaria's Minister of Culture and the Mayor of Ruse.

Ruse Philharmonic musicians launched March Music Days in 1961 with backing from the municipality, giving the Danube river town one of Bulgaria's oldest running classical music festivals.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

March Music Days is distinguished by longevity and civic backing rather than a single gimmick: founded in 1961 by the Ruse Philharmonic, it predates most of Bulgaria's post-1989 festival circuit and now runs under joint patronage of the national Minister of Culture and the Mayor of Ruse

02

The mystery stays covered

A typical edition brings artists from around a dozen countries into roughly eighteen concerts over three weeks, spanning old European classical repertoire through to contemporary and jazz programming rather than sticking to one genre

03

The city starts moving

The setting matters too: Ruse's centre, built during its boom years as a Danube port, gives the festival a backdrop of ornate period architecture rare among Bulgarian towns
