FESTIVAL INTRO

“Our wish is this festival celebrates art again; evolves emotions in every person without distinction; brings the artwork from large concert halls, theaters and exhibition halls closer to people; gives us the chance to relish freedom that all kinds of art bring. This is what happens nowhere as significantly as in art. If the art becomes silent, there will be no self-criticism, no communication and no new perspectives. Support the art with your presence, because art shall remain untouchable”.
Andrea Kozáková
director and founder of the festival

When we started to talk about organizing Symphony of Art festival in Ružinov district for the first time I would never had a dream of that enormous public interest in it. It was the evidence the idea of connecting genres and unique ensembles can bring art closer to people. The past two years have brought a number of exceptional events and Slovak legends, as well as world-renowned artists. Art belongs to Ružinov district and that's why I'm very glad that soon we can all look forward to the third year of this beautiful festival."
