St Petersburg, The Prokofiev Hall

III St Petersburg International New Music Festival reMusik


For the third year in a row the St Petersburg Contemporary Music Center reMusik.org will host the St Petersburg International New Music Festival.
The festival offers various musical concepts that facilitate the learning and understanding of a new, unique musical language of numerous dialects created by late 20th century and 21st century composers. St Petersburg audiences will find themselves in heretofore unknown musical territory, where a spectrum of new sounds and shades will appear and excite their attention. The leading Western European and Russian contemporary groups have been invited to St Petersburg, and interaction with these musicians is an important part of the festival: in addition to concerts, there will be master classes and meetings, allowing the musicians of St Petersburg to expand their knowledge of the contemporary performing arts.

The Ensemble Linea founded in 1998 in Strasbourg, France, by conductor and pianist Jean-PhilippeWurtz, Linea is an internationally renowned ensemble.
Linea has already performed at important new music festivals and has given concerts in many different places of the world, e.g. New York, Seoul, Budapest, Brussels, Bilbao, Berlin, Huddersfield, Geneva, Lyon, Royaumont, Prague, etc. The shows were broadcast by major radio stations such as France Musique, BBC and SWR (Germany).
