Last one – Edicioni XX

The antique city of Durres welcomes edition XX of International Music Festival of the Chamber Music. These concerts will be performed in Durrës, on July 2025.

Durres (alb. Durrës), the second largest city of Albania (201,505 inhabitants, 2023 estimate), is the most ancient city and one of the most economically important as the biggest port city.
The Association “Italian-Albanian Arts and Culture” was founded on 2004 in Durres by the initiative of several native artists, who have studied and spent a considerable amount of their artistic activity in Italy. The main goal of this association has been and continues to be the cooperation of Albanian artists with foreign artists, exchanges of experiences and cultures of different countries. During all these years, this association has organised many concerts performed in Durres, Tirana, Italy, and has transmitted a high level of artistic interpretation.
A special attention was paid to the successful organisation of the International Festival for Chamber Music, an activity successfully performed in the city of Durres since the year 2006.

The purpose of this Festival is to ensure, on one hand the acknowledgement of the different artistic cultures from different countries such as Italy, Austria, France, Greece, Germany, Slovenia, Serbia, North Macedonian, USA, Switzerland, Kosovo etc. through their participation in these events and, on the other hand to encounter the Albanian culture with other foreign cultures through common performances . Another objective is to bring together all Albanian artists who work inside and outside the country.
Year after year this activity has created its physiognomy, and now has become welcomed by the art-loving public of Durres but it has also been known and appreciated by the artistic communities of the capital and elsewhere in Albania.
