The start of the festival will take place in Switzerland as the «ODESSA CLASSICS IN ZURICH» project 16-20 February, and the main parts of the Odessa Classics 2023 will take place in another friendly European countries, the exact places and dates will be announced very soon.

Danel Hope: "Thrilled to announce a closer artistic relationship with the splendid Odessa Classics Festival from 2019. Alexey Botvinov and his team have done a wonderful job of building up this festival in a beautiful and historic city. And it is both extremely humbling and inspiring to think of many of my musical heroes and their role in Odessa‘s musical life: Pyotr Stolyarsky, David Oistrakh, Nathan Milstein, Boris Goldstein, Emil Gilels, Sviatoslav Richter, Zakhar Bron and many more. Looking forward to more music in Odessa!"
