Symphony of Arts
Symphony of Arts 2025 is an international multi-genre festival in Bratislava, which from September 1 to 7 brings the city to life with exceptional concerts in the open air and in representative spaces – from the garden of the Csáky Mansion to the industrial space of the Pradiarna 1900.
Bratislava will come alive with art and music at the Symphony of Arts 2025 festival (September 1–7), which offers a captivating combination of classical music, jazz, opera, big beat and a fairytale atmosphere. The festival, organized by the Bratislava-Ružinov Municipal District, strives for open art without barriers – accessible to the general public, regardless of genre or social status.
The festival will transform diverse spaces in Bratislava into a live art scene – from the breathtaking garden of the Csáky Mansion, through the pontoon on Lake Štrkovec, to the historic site of the Pradiarna 1900 in Ružinov. The audience can expect concerts by world-class performers, family events and tributes to musical legends – all with the aim of bringing art closer to everyone.
