Himarë International Music FestivalFestivali Ndërkombëtar i Muzikës Himarë

A summer classical music festival held annually in Himarë (Vlore County), featuring international performers of piano, cello and ensembles alongside local folk musicians. It brings world-class chamber and solo concerts (including pieces by Beethoven, Chopin, etc.) to intimate venues like the Neço Muko Hall and the sea-sided castle. The program often highlights traditional Himariote iso-polyphonic singing and folk instruments ({‘Waves of Himara’ concert), blending local identity with a broader artistic offering.

This festival was initiated by local music professionals to promote cultural tourism in Himarë. Its mix of classical and local styles showcases the region's Greek-Albanian heritage and the fusion of contemporary artistry with traditional polyphonic music.
