The International PelionFestival (IPeF) is an annual Summer Academy (educational programmes) and Festival (classical music concerts), that includes courses, masterclasses, concerts, lectures, happenings, educational programmes for the local children and the -unique in Greece- International Violoncello Festival. IPeF has been organised since 2000 by the non-profit organisation, Polyrhythmia. The Festival has mainly been taking place in Zagora but in neighbouring villages like Tsangarada and Kissos as well. Its events harmonically combine music with nature, history and the environment. 

IPeF’s high artistic quality and educational value are widely recognised as shown below: 

• The three-day feature (12-14.3.2019) by the Alternative Stage of the Greek National Opera in Athens (link here).

• The inclusion in the events of the Greek-Austrian Summer Concerts wich are organised by the Austrian Embassy in Greece and Mozarteum Hellas. 

• The cooperation with museums as well as with cultural and educational institutions in Greece and abroad

• The participation in the European Classical-Music-Festivals Network "Euphonia".

• The constant  support of the Holy Metropolis of Demetrias and Almyros.

In the summer of 2023 the 23rd edition of the International PelionFestival will be hosting a series of masterclasses and concerts in the wider area of Eastern Pelion.
