The Varaždin Baroque Evening Festival is of great importance for the Croatian musical baroque heritage as it encourages the research, performance and preservation of Croatian baroque works by both local and foreign performers who often perform together as part of the festival. An important part of the festival is also a scientific conference with a theme in the field of culture and music, where cultural and music experts from Croatia and Europe take part, emphasizing the importance of heritage preservation. A few years ago, the festival had a partner country every year.
So far, partner countries have been Slovakia, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Israel, Austria, Russian Federation, Italy, France, Spain, Hungary, Japan, Sweden, Slovenia, Ireland and Switzerland .
