The Ohrid Summer Festival
The Ohrid Summer Festival is one of the largest and most important music and drama festivals in Macedonia. The first concert took place in 1961 in the church of St. Sophia, with its exceptional acoustics.
The festival in Ohrid has a particular international flavour because of the participation of a large number of leading musicians and ensembles from the best known European and world music centers. There have been participants from 44 countries.
 This Festival has a solid reputation as it has gradually become part of the large family of the most famous European music festival. The Ohrid Summer Festival has its own sound conceptions, and it is able to draw up a musical program that includes artists of world renown. The Ohrid Summer Festival is held each year from July 12 to August 20. The number of performances is about 40:28 music events and 12 plays. In the last 45 years there have been more than 1,150 performances in which 30,000 local and foreign artists and performers have taken part. The average annual number of visitors is about 20,000. The performances usually take place in historic buildings or monuments. The Festival program had been accompanied by several other activities. One of them is the International Master's School for talented young violinists, cellists, pianists and singers. So far 35 such schools, or seminars, have been held. This is certainly an imposing success for its 45 years, but such a success also imposes an obligation of still greater and more impressive undertakings.
