After a huge success from the very beginning "Odessa Classics" is established as a top level European Festival with world stars of classical music such as Daniel Hope, Eugeny Kissin, Pinchas Zukerman, Joshua Bell, Maxim Vengerov, Mischa Maisky, Matthias Goerne, Michael Guttman, Thomas Hampson, with Zurich, Berlin, Brussels Chamber Orchestras and many others.
But the war changed everything and from 2022 it became impossible to hold the festival in Ukraine. 2022-2023 "Odessa Classics" managed to find a new home in Europe – with 35 concerts in six countries - Switzerland, Estonia, Greece, Germany, Poland and Lithuania.
2024 Odessa Classics will celebrate its 10th Jubilee. There will be editions in Vilnius (28 march), Zurich (4 -9 April), Luzern (25 June), Bremen (24 -29 September) and more.

ODESSA IST EIN VERSTECKTER SCHATZ!
Alexey Botvinov, Festivalgründer am ukrainischen Schwarzmeerhafen, enthüllt die Reize der vielleicht europäischsten Stadt der ehemaligen Sowjetunion.
Daniel Hope: Alexey, du bist Gründer des Odessa Classics Festival in der Ukraine. Erzähl uns davon!
Alexey Botvinov: Der Impuls war, ein Festival auf europäischem Niveau zu schaffen, Odessa auf die Landkarte zurückzubringen. Der Grund dafür ist offensichtlich: Die Ukraine ist ein junger Staat, den es erst seit der Auflösung der Sowjetunion im Jahr 1991 gibt.
