Classix Festival will take place in Iași, between February 18 and 25, 2024, and subscriptions and tickets have been put on sale online. At this moment, three of the eight concerts that make up the Classix Festival 2024 program are already sold out. “Celestial” and “I Wish I were Water” are the concerts hosted in two of the locations with the most beautiful architectural aesthetics in Iasi, which outline the program of the fifth edition of the festival.
Promoting the interdisciplinarity and syncretism of the arts, all concerts will celebrate the harmony between music and the visual experience provided by video projections and lighting design. The concept dedicated to the “discovery of desire” will dominate Classix Festival 2024, and this year’s theme will invite culture lovers to join in a personal and introspective multisensory journey into the world of classical music.
The sublime intersects with the deep in the Celestial concert at the opening of the festival, which traditionally debuts, since the first edition, at the Roman Catholic Cathedral “Holy Virgin Mary, Queen” in Iași. The artists invited in the concert are: Andrei Licareț – piano (RO), Irina Nanushi – violin (RO), Iulia Goiană – viola (RO) and Mircea Marian – cello (RO). The audience will enjoy hearing the works composed by Gustav Mahler: Piano Quartet in A minor (1876) and George Enescu: Piano Quartet in D major, op. 16 (1909).![]()
On Saturday, February 24, 2024, the Hall of Honor of the Palace of Culture in Iasi hosts the concert I Wish I were Water, an unprecedented premiere.
