Pärnu Music Festival & Järvi Academy

The Pärnu Music Festival and Järvi Academy continue Pärnu's long-standing, prestigious tradition of music festivals, bringing songs, passion, and world-class performers to the summer capital.

The festival is centered around orchestral music – its heart is the unique festival orchestra, composed of outstanding musicians from all over the world. This event combines experience, virtuosity, and inspiration, offering listeners extraordinary musical experiences.

The program includes masterpieces of classical music as well as newer creations, providing listeners with fresh interpretations and soundscapes.

An important part of the festival is the Järvi Academy – an educational platform where young talented musicians can learn and develop under the guidance of world-renowned conductors and instrumentalists.

Thus, every summer in Pärnu, something more than a festival is born – it is a center of inspiration where experience, youth, and creative energy meet.

The artistic director of the festival is Paavo Järvi.
