Paxos Music Festival
The Paxos Music Festival was first organised by John Gough, a British resident of Paxos in his garden in 1986. John Gough loved the island, the people, the culture and the way of life in Paxos. John initiated the concept of inviting outstanding young musicians to come to Paxos and be given intensive coaching in a broad repertoire of chamber music and to demonstrate the results in open rehearsals and performances. The festival gradually grew, developing relationships with the island community and international performers. Their performances were a success and were repeated in successive years, with the addition of other special guests. The focus of this festival has always been on music students. The centrally-located town of Loggos is the focal point of the festival. Upcoming events will be available soon.
