Piran Musical Evenings is an international festival of chamber music held in the coastal town of Piran. It was launched in 1978 and is as such the oldest festival of chamber music in Slovenia. Organised by Portorož Auditorium, it traditionally takes place in the cloister of the old Franciscan Monastery in Piran. It is sometimes also held in Tartini Theatre or in the Church of St Francis, with the organ concerts being held in St George's Church. The performances present classical choral works, sometimes diversified by opera or even flamenco works.

The festival, usually held at (if finances allow) five consecutive Fridays in July and August, has in recent years hosted chamber orchestras like the Ensemble Phoenix Munich, the Nova Schola Labacensis, the Musica cubicularis, Cappella Istropolitana, Martinu Quartet, Salzburg Soloists Chamber Quartet, Slovene Philharmonic String Chamber Orchestra, the Croatian pianist Lovro Pogorelić and the American soprano singer Kristin Lewis.

Additional festival locations are also Church of the Vision of St Mary, set in Strunjan, or The Church of St. Mary of the Rose in the neighbouring town Portorož.
