The historical performance of the baroque music today by musicians around the world, has given a new impetus and a fresh look at the music of that era as well as of those that followed.
The inexhaustible repertoire, the musical instruments, the composers with the exuberant personalities, the musical ideas with their philosophical and religious influences, the primitive instincts and the encounter of different peoples are elements which characterise the music of that period and the reason why it is still attractive and interesting even for the common people.
In Athens, a city with huge historical and cultural heritage,a vibrant city which continuously evolves and redefines its identity, a Festival is created in order to house this kind of music and to give the floor to musicians αnd ensembles from Greece and from around the world, having expression, entertainment and education as its primary goals.
