From 24 May to 7 June 2023 the 10th St Petersburg International New Music Festival will be held by the St Petersburg Contemporary Music Centre reMusik.org. This annual major forum of contemporary music in Russia will take place with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation and the Government of St Petersburg under the direction of the artistic director and composer Mehdi Hosseini.
The St Petersburg International New Music Festival is a unique event in the Russian music culture. It covers various areas of contemporary classical music such as experimental, electroacoustic, electronic music, multimedia projects, free improvisation and others. The format of the music presentation is not limited to traditional academic concerts but also includes experimental performances.
The reMusik.org Festival is a point of intersection where the diverse world views of contemporary composers meet at a crossroads of musical paths, which have emerged in the past few years. 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. One of the key aims of the festival is to showcase and share the latest trends in the world of academic music. The programme includes only world and Russian premieres of works created in recent decades.
