It's a ... Child!

Let's start with a bit of pomp (and circumstance) – as required in proper birth announcements: “Festival Maribor is proud to announce life's most precious gift: Child! September 6th 2016.”

That's done. No more sweetness. No baby blues or pinks either! Our musical bundle of joy proudly wears yellow and black!

Yes, we still dare to be different and bold, special and unique! Everything you loved about the festival will be here in 2016 as well: respect for festival's predecessors and years of tradition paired with youthful energy and enthusiasm. But, as life goes when children arrive: there will be lots of new things as well!

Under the new artistic leadership this year’s festival theme invites us to embrace our inner child. So, let's do it! Let's be like children again: curious and open hearted, joyfully discovering new horizons and enjoying musical delights brought to us by some of today's finest musicians!

Welcome, Child!
