SoNoRo Musikland, 8th edition, 2026
The 8th edition of the SoNoRo Musikland Festival will take place from 17 to 27 July 2026 in Sibiu, Avrig, Porumbacu de Sus, Copșa Mare, Sighișoara, Meșendorf, Criț, Viscri, and Poiana Brașov.
The SoNoRo Musikland Festival, dedicated to the traditions and heritage of the cities of Sibiu, Sighișoara, and Brașov, as well as the villages of the Transylvanian Highlands, has developed remarkably over its eight years of existence. Through this year’s edition, we offer audiences 11 days of festival events: 14 events in total, including nine concerts and five jam sessions. Seventeen internationally renowned artists will perform on the festival stages, highlighting the region’s architectural and cultural heritage through some of the most beautiful works of chamber music.
This year, we return for the second time to the city of Sibiu, where we will perform at ASTRA County Library Sibiu, the Roman Catholic Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, the Hall of Mirrors of the Democratic Forum of Germans in Sibiu, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, part of the Brukenthal National Museum. We will continue at Somarest in Avrig, in Porumbacu de Sus, Copșa Mare, and Sighișoara, before reaching the villages of Meșendorf, Criț, and Viscri. The SoNoRo Musikland Festival will conclude with a jam session in Poiana Brașov.
“Welcome to the 8th edition! We are delighted that in 2026 we are returning to places that have become traditional venues for SoNoRo Musikland, while also introducing audiences to new stops on the festival map. We will perform for the first time at the Museum of Contemporary Art, part of the Brukenthal National Museum, at Somarest in Avrig, at Porumbacu 216, and at A lu’ Escana — a guesthouse and cultural hub in Porumbacu de Sus. After a two-year absence, we return to the Baroque Hall of Sighișoara City Hall, and we are also looking forward with great enthusiasm to returning to the villages of the Transylvanian Highlands, to fortified churches and guesthouse courtyards — in Copșa Mare, Meșendorf, Criț, and Viscri — where concerts at sunset and under the moonlight have a very special charm. The festival finale will be marked by the presence of a new venue — Swissôtel in Poiana Brașov — a place where architectural elegance blends perfectly with the harmony of the landscape.
We leave behind seven editions that have already made SoNoRo Musikland a much-loved festival, and we look forward to reuniting with our loyal audience and making new friends at the 8th edition!
We are very grateful to our sponsors and partners for their trust; without their constant involvement, our festival would not have grown like Făt-Frumos in the fairy tales!”
Răzvan Popovici, Executive Director of the SoNoRo Musikland Festival
