The Venizelio Conservatory of Chania marked World Music Day on June 21 with a live musical celebration held in its courtyard. World Music Day, known internationally as Fete de la Musique, is observed each year on the summer solstice with free public performances across the globe. The Chania conservatory has made this an annual tradition, filling its grounds with student and faculty performances open to the public. The event takes place at the Venizelio Conservatory in the heart of Chania's historic center, making it easy to combine with a walk through the old town or a visit to the Venetian harbor nearby. Admission to such conservatory events is typically free. If you are in western Crete around this date next year, checking the conservatory's schedule ahead of time is worthwhile.
