Fez World Sacred Music Festival

The Fez Festival of World Sacred Music, held annually in the captivating city of Fes, Morocco, is a cultural phenomenon that transcends borders. With its origins rooted in a deep appreciation for music as a universal language, the festival brings together artists, musicians, and spectators from all corners of the globe. It’s a journey into the heart of humanity, a celebration of spiritual harmony, and a tribute to the power of music to bridge divides.

Gospel singers, Sufi music, European classical, Hindustani chanting and religious rock are just some of the genres represented at this Summer Festival in Morocco. During the afternoons, the Dar Batha Museum hosts quieter, more peaceful concerts, films and poetry readings in a more intimate setting.

There are also seminars and lectures by academics, politicians, scientists, religious leaders and social activists where constructive debate occurs, recognized by UNESCO for its significant contribution to intercultural dialogue. Topics this year will include climate change, the war in Ukraine and other areas of conflict, social justice and equality, free speech and more.
