The inspiration behind the Orpheus Festival stems from the legendary Greek myth of Orpheus, the divine musician, poet, and prophet. As the tale goes, Orpheus was gifted with extraordinary musical talent and received a lyre from Apollo, the god of music. With it, he played melodies so enchanting that even the wildest animals became peaceful, gathering around in awe and harmony.
This powerful story is more than just a myth—it’s a symbol of music’s ability to transcend barriers, bringing people together despite their differences. This spirit of unity, enchantment, and transformation pulses through the heart of the festival.
