The Promz Festival 2026, with 86 concerts over eight weeks, once again proved its claim as the largest and best classical music festival in the world. As the final night of this event approaches, it is time for you to share your experiences from this amazing season. Did any new songs make it to your playlists? Which soloists captivated you? Did you sing along with the Jupiter Orchestra in their performance of Hey Jude?
Memorable Concerts
This year's festival audiences were treated to extraordinary performances. Among them, the Berlin Philharmonic, John Wilson and the London Symphony, and the Oslo Philharmonic conducted by Mira Grazinit-Tila were some of the performances that caught critics' attention. Additionally, the Aurora Orchestra's discovery and performance of Mahler's First Symphony provided a unique experience for listeners.
But that's not all; new musical works that premiered this year also drew attention. Festen Suite by Trinej with its stunning colors, Bassoon Concerto by Thea Musgrave with its special charm, and Cello Concerto by Jessie Montgomery were recognized as highlights of this season. These works beautifully showcase the diversity and richness of contemporary classical music.
