The story

Trakai Fanfare Week in Trakai

Trakai Fanfare Week pairs a summer academy for brass, saxophone and percussion players with a week of free public concerts in the lakeside castle town. Running since the first international brass festival in 2003, it has hosted youth orchestras from the Netherlands, Estonia, Austria, Denmark and Germany alongside Lithuanian musicians.

Trakai Fanfare Week combines a summer music academy with a public festival, filling the small castle town near Vilnius with the sound of brass, saxophone and percussion for roughly a week each summer.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Unlike a standard concert festival, Trakai Fanfare Week is built around an active teaching program: participants are music students taking masterclasses by day, and the evening concerts double as showcases of what they and their visiting teachers have prepared

02

The mystery stays covered

All performances are free, which is unusual for an event with international faculty and touring ensembles

03

The city starts moving

Because tuition and lodging costs are covered separately from ticketing, the academy can invite ensembles that might otherwise be unaffordable for a small-town festival, giving Trakai an unusually high caliber of visiting talent relative to its size
