Event Schedule
HONA is a music festival that takes place on the beautiful island of Naxos in Greece
The festival embodies a calling of musicians from all over the world who share the same spirit of expression, through this special instrument called handpan.
A coming together of sound explorers who wish to share their love and create beautiful auditory landscapes that bypass the rational mind and go straight to the heart.
In this five day celebration a wide number of workshops will take place spanning from Yoga, Dance to Instrument making as well as handpan playing classes for all levels.
Among all the above mentioned, we get to witness beautiful spontaneous jams between a wide variety of instruments and souls who wish to connect on the spot and explore what is there!
All workshops, guided by inspired artists, aim to explore the heart/mind connection, through means of sound, light and motion.
Each night, after dinner, we welcome wonderful musicians on stage to share with us their latest inspirations on steel and take us on a beautiful journey.
