21st International Spring Music Festival to be Held at Bellapais Abbey
From April 11 to May 14, 2026, the historic Bellapais Abbey in Northern Cyprus will host the 21st International Bellapais Spring Music Festival.
The festival will feature 125 artists from Cyprus, Turkey, Russia, Luxembourg, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The program includes 12 concerts covering a wide musical range — from Baroque music to jazz.
The stage will welcome an orchestra, choir, vocalists, as well as renowned sopranos, mezzo-sopranos, and tenors. Pianists, violinists, cellists, flautists, bassoonists, and guitarists will also perform.
The festival is considered one of the most prestigious musical events in the Eastern Mediterranean. A special atmosphere is created by the venue — a 12th-century medieval abbey located in the Kyrenia mountains, which annually attracts classical music lovers from across the island and abroad.
A detailed concert program will be published shortly.
