Ljetne čari klasične glazbe dugogodišnji je ljetni festival splitske glazbene mladeži koji je postepeno prerastao u važan kulturni događaj u gradu Splitu. Cilj festivala je upotpuniti koncertnu i kulturnu ponudu grada Splita u ljetnim mjesecima te građanima i njihovim gostima pružiti vrhunske glazbene doživljaje u ambijentalnim prostorima u srcu Splita.

Kao i prethodnih godina, i u ovogodišnjem, trinaestom izdanju, festival se koncepcijski nastavlja na prvu bitnu odrednicu - suradnju s mladim glazbenicima. Osim navedene, festival njeguje i međunarodnu kulturnu suradnju te ove godine ostvaruje suradnju s umjetnicima iz Austrije, Slovenije, Kanade i Norveške.

Festival ne bi postojao bez suradnje Glazbene mladeži Split, glavnog pokrovitelja Turističke zajednice grada Splita, kao i domaćina u predivnim prostorima, Muzeja grada Splita. Program se izvodi od sredine lipnja do kraja rujna, uz održavanje osam koncerata, šest u podrumima Dioklecijanove palače, a dva u novouređenoj Staroj gradskoj vijećnici kojom upravlja Muzej Grada Splita.

Lokacija: Stara gradska vijećnica

Vrijeme: 20. lipnja 2024, s početkom u 20.00 sati
