The Istanbul Music Festival is taking music lovers on a journey through the world of music, from Mexico, Buenos Aires and America’s west coast to Spain, Venice and Russia all the way to the Indian Ocean. Held this year for the 39th time, the festival is welcoming such greats as Gidon Kremer, Yuri Bashmet, Patricia Petibon, Hilary Hahn, Renée Fleming and Christoph Eschenbach as well as one of the world’s finest orchestras, the Festival Orchestra of Schleswig-Holstein.
