Dear Friends, in the summer of 2024 the 24th edition of the International PelionFestival will be hosting a series of masterclasses and concerts in the wider area of Eastern Pelion.
2024 is a special year for us, as we welcome the first edition of our Piano Festival and many new faces to our team of teachers!
The 1st Piano Festival of the International PelionFestival will take place from July 16 to 23, 2024. It is our great honor to welcome Vassilis Varvaresos and Fil Liotis in this endeavor. During the same period, our long-time partner Noé Inui will teach violin as well as the extraordinary Liv Migdal, whom we will have the opportunity to enjoy in a chamber music recital. In the second week of this year’s edition (July 23-31) the 10th Violoncello Festival will take place, for which we are delighted to welcome the internationally acclaimed cellist Ella van Poucke. The well-known group of cellists of the last ten years will, of course, be with us again. It is also with great enthusiasm that we welcome the internationally renowned soprano Myrtò Papatanasiu for a Vocal Masterclass. Our good friend Apollon Grammatikopoulos will once again honor us with his presence as a violin tutor.
