Every year during the second half of March the town of Rousse welcomes elitist Bulgarian and foreign musicians from different places of the world who come to visit and participate in one of the oldest international music festivals in Bulgaria - March Music Days. The long historical record of the festival has listed hundreds of new Bulgarian and foreign premieres, a number of opuses specially composed for the festival as well as numerous remarkable visits and lasting artistic contacts. Having the remarkable tradition as a background, the festival today is being developed as an open, dynamic form of culture, as an universal space for contacts and exchange among different cultures and nationalities thus integrating diverse forms of contemporary artistic facts.
