DEAR FRIENDS,
It is a great honour to welcome you to the 2026 InClassica International Music Festival, as we prepare to celebrate a landmark 15th edition with a truly special return to Europe.
Over the years, InClassica has grown into an international meeting point for outstanding artists, orchestras, and audiences, united by a shared love of our shared musical heritage. After five exceptional editions in Dubai, we are delighted to bring the festival once again to Europe, where so much of the classical tradition was born and continues to flourish to this day.
This year’s edition will take us across a remarkable series of cities and concert halls, presenting performances by acclaimed soloists, ensembles, and conductors from all across the globe. It is a programme that reflects both the richness of our musical heritage and the openness, energy, and creativity that define InClassica today.
I would like to thank all the artists, partners, institutions, media collaborators, and audiences whose support makes this festival possible, and all our hard work worthwhile. I look forward to welcoming you all to InClassica 2026, and to sharing together in the unforgettable experiences that this edition is sure to bring!
