One of the most long-standing festivals dedicated to classical music and contemporary arts returns to the Southern Transylvania.
Come, delight in the picturesque atmosphere, and admire the virtuosity of music at the twenty concerts, which will bring together over 120 artists in 7 Transylvanian localities!
The 22nd edition of the ICon Arts Transylvania Academy and Festival will take place, as is tradition, at the end of July and in the first part of August, in three distinct periods.
International Contemporary Arts (ICon Arts) is the story of an ambitious cultural project that turned into a complex, internationally renowned independent contemporary art phenomenon.
ICon Arts is both an international art course (ICon Arts Academy) and a music and performance festival (ICon Arts Festival).
Started in 2003, as a series of summer classes, and focused on contemporary music, ICon Arts Academy aims to encourage the exchange of experience between young performers and composers, artists, masters and all those shaping a new generation of artists.
On the fine line between formal and non-formal education, ICon Arts Academy has created the right environment for young artists to develop and gain access to international master classes.
Along with the Academy, the ICon Arts Festival naturally took shape as a series of concerts starring academics, on the one hand, and on the other hand, big, worldwide renowned names of contemporary music.
The ICon Arts music master classes – composition, solo interpretation, chamber music, Composer in Residence – are dedicated to students enrolled in music schools, who intend to take their knowledge to the next level.
The master classes will take place in Biertan, Richiș, Copşa Mare, Moşna heritage villages, in Sibiu County and also in Braşov, Romania. Each master class is scheduled to develop during a 7 days program.
