The story

Bucharest Early Music Festival in Bucharest

The Bucharest Early Music Festival, founded in 2006, brings historically informed performance of music written before Beethoven, medieval, renaissance, and baroque repertoire, to Bucharest audiences through period-appropriate ensembles and international guest performers.

Long before Beethoven, and long before the modern symphony orchestra took the shape audiences recognize today, European music was written for lutes, viols, recorders, and small vocal ensembles performing in churches, courts, and private chambers.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's focus on early music sets it apart from Bucharest's broader classical calendar, which tends toward standard orchestral and operatic repertoire

02

The mystery stays covered

By specializing in historically informed performance, using period instruments and performance styles associated with the medieval, renaissance, and baroque eras, it draws a specialist international circuit of performers and ensembles that otherwise rarely appear in mainstream Romanian concert programming, including groups recognized at other European early-music festivals
