Nox Illuminata
Nox Illuminata is a series of international music festivals established in Basel, Switzerland, since 2004, and in Sankt Pölten, Austria, since 2009. It combines traditional European early music with artists and repertoire from other genres and cultures, together with dance, theatre, and visual arts.[1]
