Austria class by Classix Festival 2022
* Auner Quartet concerts and premier of #New Together documentary in Iasi

“During three years of existence, thanks to the quality, dynamism and innovating spirit, which have become it trademarks, Classix Festival conquered the young public of Iasi and Romania in general, more rapidly and more durable than expected from a classic music festival. A supporter of daring actions, the Austrian Cultural Forum is happy to contribute to the ascension of the project, classic for contemporary tastes, an example of good artistic practices for Central and Eastern Europe,” said Thomas Kloiber, the director of the Austrian Cultural Forum.
