Anopolis World Music Festival, following three successful events, returns for the fourth consecutive year, from Tuesday 10 to Thursday 12 September 2024, inviting you all to a three-day music event in the public space, in squares, secret places and monuments of Ano Poli!
Drawing inspiration from musical traditions of the world, especially this
year from the Mediterranean repertoire, from the motives and songs of
the Caucasus and Anatolia region, and from the Balkan sounds, duo and trio music groups, based mainly in Thessaloniki, will present original creations and arrangements of traditional compositions, through experimentation, improvisation, different languages and styles, mixing the near and the distant, the familiar and the unfamiliar, the intimate and the unknown.
Nine concerts in nine different locations of Ano Poli, in three days of contemporary musical expression that echoes the historically multicul-tural character of Ano Poli and Thessaloniki; a festival that highlights the importance of the presence of art and citizens in the public space, while strengthening the interaction between the artists and the audience, the individual and the collective, space and time; a music festival of contemporary musical culture that addresses and invites you all.
Anopolis World Music Festival is organized by olipoli NGO, with the participation of the Department of Culture and Tourism of the Municipality of Thessaloniki and the Municipality of Neapoli-Sykies, in collaboration with the Third Municipal District of the Municipality of Thessaloniki and the Ephorate of Antiquities of Thessaloniki City. The festival is financially supported by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture.
