We are honoured to share the news that this year too, the Republic of Hungary is the country partner of the festival. Coinciding with the previous years, the festival has yet another very interesting programme as well as international participants: the world-renowned artist Divna Ljubojević will perform at the 2018 Medimus Festival with her ensemble Melodi.

We also have the honour to host the Ensemble Cassiopea from Germany.

The final participant of this year’s installment of Medimus, The Bourdon Ensemble, from Hungary, we remember for their wonderful performance which closed the festival last year. Its members are: Katalin Bennő,  Ádám Buda,  Áron Esztergomi, László Bennő.

A special surprise for visitors to the Medimus Festival, this year will be the appearance of the Royal Order of the Knights.

The Royal Order of the Knights works with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch of Serbian Irinej, with the blessing of the Blessed Patriarch Pavle, under the auspices of HRH  Duchess Linda Karađorđević and her sons Princes Mihajlo and Đorđe.

The royal family founded the Royal Order of the Knights in order to cultivate and develop traditional chivalric skills and values, through culture, spirituality, art, sport and humanitarian work. In its operation, the Royal Order of the Knights revives the most exalted from the Serbian and Byzantine arduous spirit.
