THE WORLD MEETS IN PÄRNU!

Join us live from Pärnu for the 15th edition of the Pärnu Music Festival. Now firmly established as Estonia’s premiere classical music festival, Pärnu attracts visitors from around the globe, who travel to the Baltic Sea for 10 days of vibrant music making with Paavo Järvi, family and friends.

From 16 - 25 July 2025, the XV Pärnu Music Festival presents world class concerts in the summer capital of Estonia. This year’s programme features four orchestras and involves more than 200 musicians, including international stars Iveta Apkalna (organ) and Vilde Frang (violin), as well as leading young Estonian soloists Kalev Kuljus (oboe), Hans Christian Aavik and Mari Poll (violin). View the full programme here.

The festival commences on 14 July with pre-concerts in Tallinn and at the Arvo Pärt Centre, where the Järvi Academy Sinfonietta and the ambitious and international Järvi Academy Conducting Course will meet the audience for the first time this summer. Then for ten days, from 16 to 25 July, the Pärnu Concert Hall will be teeming with the diverse, yet tight-knit community of musicians and joyous audiences enjoying a different programme every night, but thanks to our own Pärnu Music Festival TV you can enjoy our programme from anywhere in the world!
