The non-profit organisation 'INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF CORFU' was founded in June 2008 with the objective of planning, organising and managing the cultural events in the Region of Corfu that constitute the "International Corfu Festival". The aim is to demonstrate the richness of the local musical heritage but also to include music of a contemporary nature in a festival production entitled "Ionian Concerts". The "Ionian Concerts" combine the familiar presence of local musical groups such as choirs, philharmonic societies and others, with international artists from Europe, Asia and the United States, who participate thanks to the international academic relations of the Ionian University.

Organising Committee

The Organisation is governed by a 7- member committee, which approves the artistic programming of the Festival and co-ordinates and monitors its realization. The Organising Committee consists of three representatives of the Ionian University, two members of the Corfu Local Government and two representatives of the Municipality of Corfu. The Ionian University is responsible for the realisation of the artistic programming and the co-ordination of the activities of the artists and artists' groups, and for this purpose it designates an Artistic Committee.
The Artistic Committee carries out the organizational planning ( concerts dates, venues), deals with contractual agreements and submits the artistic programming to the Organising Committee, which has the responsibility of approving it.
