Orchestre π, the festival’s signature ensemble, performs on 25 & 26 July at the Venizeleio Conservatory of Chania

Composed of leading musicians from the Academy of St Martin in the Fields alongside emerging talents from Greece and France, Orchestre π brings together generations, cultures, and musical lineages in pursuit of a shared sound of excellence.

The handwritten “εν Χανίοις” in the Festum π logo is a trace from an original letter by Eleftherios Venizelos, generously shared by the Eleftherios Venizelos Foundation — a subtle tribute to the memory and spirit of the place that hosts us.
