7th edition Rhodes
3rd edition Paris
A bridge between Paris and the island of Rhodes
The Festival « European Polyphony », a Greek-French collaboration.
This unique multidisciplinary art institution was created in 2019 by the collaboration of the French association Arts Spontanés and Ars Artis, based in Rhodes.
The Festival, for two weeks, transforms the Medieval City of Rhodes into an active music workshop, allowing the public to participate in numerous interactive music workshops and concerts with the participation of internationally renowned artists and musical ensembles.
It's a new way of meeting through art and experiencing classical music.
One of the main goals of the Festival is to empower young people through art and contribute to the promotion of the island of Rhodes as one of the important artistic capitals in Europe.
