This year's edition of this early classical music festival will focus on Hungarian musicians given that Hungary is the festival's partner country this year.
Addressing a news conference, Dinko Sokcevic, head of the Hungarian Institute in Zagreb, which is partaking in organising the event this year, said that in addition to featuring Baroque music concerts it will consist of many other events, such as Baroque gastronomy presentations, book launches, seminars and presentations of two Hungarian towns, Szombathely and Zalaegerszeg.
The event, which will last until October 2 and is expected to attract about 10,000 visitors, will feature 17 concerts, to be held in Varazdina and Trakoscan, 40 kilometres southwest of Varazdin, and about 15 concerts to be held in other towns.
Speaking about other events to be organised by the Hungarian Institute, Sokcevic announced a concert by world renowned jazz pianist Kalman Olah, to be held on October 4 at the Hungarian Institute to mark Hungary's chairing the Visegrad Group.
A concert by the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble and the Croatian folklore ensemble "Lado", to be held in Zagreb's Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall on 29 May 2018 will mark the end of Hungary presiding the Visegrad Group.
Sokcevic said that the Days of Hungarian Culture event was being prepared and would take place in Dubrovnik on October 11-12 and Trogir, on October 13.
He spoke about several other events to take place until the end of the year, one of them being an exhibition of works by Hungarian painter Jozsef Rippl-Ronai, to be held in Zagreb in March 2018, as well as events commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Croatian-Hungarian Settlement and the 100th anniversary of the break-up of the Habsburg Empire.
