The Greek island of Samos is hosting the Young Artists Festival for the fifth consecutive year. The week-long festival aims to bring together young artists from around the world and help them understand the cultural differences between all folk, through art. The Young Artists Festival, organized by the Schwarz Foundation, is a creative work platform where young people can exchange cultural views through art and dialogue. The Greek island of Samos was chosen due to its connection with both Europe and Asia. This year, the festival will take place at the Ancient Theater of Pythagorion Port, from August 7 to 13 and it will host artists from Greece, Germany, Bulgaria, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Hungary, Argentina and USA. The Ancient Theater of Pythagorion is a place where Pythagoras first established the laws of Music and Physics 2,500 years ago. “This year, again, we will have the chance to connect contradictions and contrasts. You will hear classical Music and Jazz, Opera, Tangos and a percussion solo,” noted the festival’s organizers on their website. “Here in Samos, within sight of the formal edge of Orient and Occident, we would like to overcome borders and build bridges over national and musical borders, bringing together the established and the new. Music connects people across cultural, religious and linguistic borders like no other. Join us on an exciting musical journey around the world in seven days,” they added.
