The European Music Festival returns to Rhodes, celebrating music with a total of 16 events at 10 locations from 21 to 25 June 2017. The Hellenic Music Festival is tasked with promoting the Music Festival, namely promoting live music, supporting new creators and promoting emerging and established artists. Live music events are a fun occasion for discovering different kinds of music for the general public, are primarily organized in public places and access is always free. Every year, more than 25,000 such events are organized throughout Europe.
The institution came to Athens for the first time in 1999 and since then, European Music Festival (NGM) events have become nationwide with more and more cities organizing celebrations (50 in 2017).
Coordination and organization of this year’s celebrations for Rhodes was undertaken by the House of Europe in Rhodes, the Municipality of Rhodes and the Municipal Organization of Culture and Sport of Rhodes.
The event’s 16 events will feature more than 24 bands and a total of more than 150 artists, from young students and music lovers to established musicians and bands. Music events cover a wide range of musical choices, from classical music, Greek and foreign song to Byzantine music, traditional rock and jazz, and theatrical, dance and literary events, with music dominating. The program was prepared after an open invitation from the organizers. Participation by all artists is free, as is free admission to all events.
