WOMEX 12 * WOMEX Announces 2012 Host City

After three years in Copenhagen, Denmark, from 2009 to 2011, WOMEX will be moving south in 2012. The new host city is Thessaloniki, Greece's second major economic and political centre, located right by the Mediterranean Sea. With its 2300-year past, it's one of the oldest cities in Europe and a true cultural melting pot, bearing traces of an eventful history between Orient and Occident. Renowned for its vibrant cultural life, it is considered to be Greece's cultural capital.

Next year, WOMEX will be taking place one week earlier than usual, from Wednesday, 17 to Sunday, 21 October 2012.
