Somewhere between the fountain of the south courtyard and the tall trees of the garden, behind the neoclassical building of the Historical Museum of Crete, original music compositions and various experimental sounds from different music cultures are to be discovered once again. For the third consecutive year, “As the Night Falls” is taking place in the garden of the Historical Museum of Crete.

Open to all forms of artistic expression, the Museum's small summer festival gives young musicians the floor to share their concerns and artistic vision with the public. Be part of this mutual musical journey without borders and boundaries, with rhythms from Blues, Swing, Rock, Mainstream Jazz, Jazz Funk & Soul, Afro Beat, Reggae, India Grooves, Folk & Lounge, etc.
