SoNoRo Musikland, 7th edition, 2025

The 7th edition of the SoNoRo Musikland Festival will take place from 4-19 July 2025 in Sibiu, Copșa Mare, Cincu, Saschiz, Meșendorf, Criț, Viscri, Codlea, Făgăraș and Brașov.

While the first edition of SoNoRo Musikland was centred only in the area of the fortified Saxon churches, the second and subsequent editions have expanded to include jam session concerts in houses that have become part of the tourist circuit in the area. These honour the Saxon heritage of the old traditional houses, with architectural elements that are harmoniously integrated into the modern structure of the present-day spaces.


Admission to the SoNoRo Musikland Festival concerts is free and is by invitation or by reservation under the limited places available. Booking details can be found on each concert page.

“Welcome to the 7th edition! The youngest of the SoNoRo projects is growing from year to year and I’m thrilled that in 2025 we are returning to venues that have already started to become traditional SoNoRo Musikland venues. This year our music will also reach the cities of Sibiu and Copșa Mare, as well as new venues in the city of Brasov, such as the Brasov Museum of Articles, the Democratic Forum of the Germans in Brasov, the Brukenhalle (the former summer residence of the Brukenthal family in Șcheii Brașovului), but we will return to the Bastionul Țesătorilor (The Weavers’ Quarter) for the final concert itself. Also, near Brasov, we’ll reach the Fortified Church of Codlea and the imposing Făgăraș Fortress.

We are going back to the villages of the Transylvanian hills, to the fortified churches and the courtyards of the guesthouses – in Cincu, Saschiz, Meșendorf, Criț and Viscri – where concerts at sunset and moonlight have a special charm.

We are leaving behind six editions that have already made SoNoRo Musikland a much-loved festival, and we are looking forward to meeting our loyal audiences and making new friends!

We are extraordinarily grateful to our sponsors and partners for their trust; without their constant involvement, our festival would not have grown like Prince Charming in fairy tales!”

Răzvan Popovici, SoNoRo Musikland Festival Director

The SoNoRo Musikland Festival, dedicated to the traditions and heritage of the city of Brasov and the villages of the Transylvanian Hills, has grown tremendously in just 7 years of existence. Unlike the previous editions, this year’s edition offers the public 16 days of festival, 23 events, including 16 concerts, two jam sessions and 5 children’s concerts, under the SoNoRo Kids brand. 23 internationally renowned artists and two orchestras (Sibiu State Philharmonic Orchestra and SoNoRo Strings Orchestra) will be on the concert stages.

This year we have included the city of Sibiu in the festival for the first time and we are happy to invite the people of Sibiu to five chamber concerts in splendid venues such as the Hall of Mirrors at the Democratic Forum of the Germans in Sibiu, the Esplanade of the Sibiu State Philharmonic, the Concert Hall of the ASTRA Sibiu County Library, the Roman-Catholic Parish Church of the Holy Trinity and the Music Hall of the Brukenthal National Museum.
