The Festival will also present Italian music of the 16th and 17th centuries, music of the Danube monarchy and festive music of the 17th and 18th centuries. There will also be traditional baroque fireworks and festive baroque illumination.

An Italian chamber music concert from the high baroque period by Anna Januj (fipple flute), Szabolcs Illés (violoncello da spalla) and Ondřej Macek (cembalo) is set to be a unique experience.
