The Istanbul Music Festival
June 6 – 24, 2022
The Istanbul Music Festival has been vital to the cultural memory of the city for the past 50 years. In this benchmark year of celebration, the festival dedicates itself to Istanbul, this magnificent and unique city that has been home to many cultures throughout its complex history and inspired many artists. The festival offers special projects and repertoires in its 50th program that will mirror the polyphonic, multilingual and multicultural aspects of Istanbul, and remind past festivals at times. The festival will bring together esteemed orchestras, star soloists and ensembles from Turkey and the world in many different venues that range from the distinguished concert halls of Istanbul to the historical and cultural sites that have been the scene of the festival for half a century.
The Istanbul Music Festival supports the young and emerging musicians creating a platform where they can be heard by the classical music audience of Turkey. The Festival encourages the international career and education of young women musicians since 2018 with it’s women empowerment project : The Women Stars of Tomorrow.
The festival spreads across the city with events at historical sites, churches, cultural venues alongside concert halls, as well as free concerts at parks and gardens.
