A contemporary classic affair

In 2025, Classix returns with a new edition and a new concept: Revelations!

The sixth edition of Classix Festival took place between February 23 and March 2, 2025, bringing together in Iași and Bucharest artists from around the world, cultural professionals, and a curious audience passionate about authentic musical and visual experiences. Under the theme “Revelations,” the festival explored moments of inspiration and artistic clarity, transforming the stage into a space of discovery and human connection.

The program of the edition included 9 concerts and 3 bonus concerts held in the spring, featuring over 100 artists from 14 countries: Romania, Poland, Austria, France, Russia, Denmark, Norway, Serbia, Italy, the United Kingdom, Bulgaria, Spain, the Republic of Moldova, and the United States of America.

More than 10,000 active participants attended the concerts and related events, while live broadcasts generated over 160,000 online views.

The festival hosted 4 discussion panels and 2 bonus panels in the spring, 3 art exhibitions, 1 lecture, 1 book launch, 1 short film screening, and 1 showcase, expanding the dialogue between arts and ideas.

Through the Classix-in-Art program, three €1,000 scholarships were awarded, and 40 masterclass sessions were held, coordinated by international artists and mentors, dedicated to young musicians at the beginning of their careers.

The 2025 edition continued the series of curatorial directions that define the festival’s identity — from Desire (2024) to Metamorphosis (2023) and Instinct (2022) — offering the audience a new perspective on contemporary classical music: music is for everyone.

Classix Festival 2025 thus became a celebration of collective revelation through art — without barriers, without prejudice, and with total devotion to the beauty and universality of music.
