Bratislava Music Festival

The 58th edition of the Bratislava Music Festival will take place from 22 September to 8 October 2023 and will traditionally offer its fans a quality musical experience at great concerts!

You can look forward to the gala evening of one of the best tenors in the world, Piotr Beczala!This year we will welcome an exceptional personality, Polish tenor Piotr Beczala. A guest of the most prestigious world stages, including the MET, he will present a song and opera repertoire.

Among the particularly interesting concerts at this year’s BHS will be a guest appearance by the piano duo of the Dutch brothers Lucas&Arthur Jussen, who – despite their young age – perform with the world’s most important orchestras or as a duo in the most prestigious concert halls. The evening’s programme will include works for four-hand piano as well as works for two pianos!
