Elba Festival, European Music Island

International classical and jazz music festivals

The Elba Festival, Island of European Music was founded in 1997 by George Edelman and Yuri Bashmet with the aim of creating a significant musical event in the landscape of international classical music and jazz festivals.

Over the years, international artists have performed, starting with Yuri Bashmet, the musical director of the festival, who has been present with his orchestra, the Moscow Soloists, up to very young virtuosos like the eleven-year-old Japanese pianist Karin Kei Nagano, who performed in 2010 at the Teatro dei Vigilanti.

A tradition that the Festival has been carrying on for years, with the important support of the Friends of the Festival Association, is the assignment of the Elba Festival Prize to a young talent, who is selected from the group of promising young talents brought to the attention of the artistic direction in recent months. This recognition is emblematic of the festival's spirit, which aims to consolidate the growth of young artists, even through interaction with already established figures.

Most of the events are usually held in the precious Teatro dei Vigilanti in Portoferraio, but there are also regular appointments at the breathtaking location of the Hermitage Hotel beach and in other special places on the island: the gem of the Rio nell'Elba Cathedral and the Sanctuary of Madonna del Monte, which is reached through a hike through the woods above Marciana.

The president and musical director of the event was Maestro Yuri Bashmet (until the 2021 edition), and the artistic director is George Edelman.
