Samobor Music Autumn Festival

The Samobor Music Autumn Festival is one of the most respected classical music festivals in Croatia, which holds the prestigious EFFE title awarded by the European Association of Festivals. The EFFE label is awarded to festivals that meet high artistic criteria with a significant impact on the local, national and international level.

The unique atmosphere and deep commitment to the highest artistic standards of musical interpretation is always a good invitation to the audience and visitors of the Samobor Music Autumn Festival. A recognizable Festival that nurtures strong and friendly relations with performers, provides a guarantee of great performances and concerts, and the artists, as well as the audience, reward this year after year.

Since the first concerts, way back in 1976, only top foreign and local musicians have performed at the Samobor Musical Autumn Festival, and over the years and with the wholehearted efforts of the organizers, the program has been developing in higher quality, as evidenced by the patronage of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia.
