Bratislava Mozart Festival
25 October – 24 November 2024
Bratislava – Bratislava Region
www.bratislavamozartfestival.sk
The festival now has more than 10 years of tradition and has found its place among the structure of Bratislava music events. Thanks to it, significantly more of Mozart’s music is now performed in Bratislava by elite interpretation specialists. The artistic identity of the event was heavily influenced by the music of “Pressburg” composers (Zimmermann, Družecký, Sperger), who were able to write exceptionally valuable opuses during the time of Mozart. Several of them have been performed in past versions of the festival, and others are in the current programme and in the festival plans for the coming years.
Month of Photography
November 2024
Bratislava – Bratislava Region
www.mesiacfotografie.eu
The Month of Photography Festival (founded in 1991) is the longest domestic and internationally known such festival in Slovakia. As part of the programme, the organisers always try to present projects that are a response to current events in the world and that also testify to the autonomous values of photographic creation. We want to stimulate a dialogue between different cultures and points of view about what is crucial for contemporary art and society. The central topic of the 34th edition of the Month of Photography is the protection of biodiversity and the promotion of greater sensitivity to the consequences of climate change.
