For our 22nd edition, it almost feels like we are back where we left things off in 2019. A return to some of our old partnerships, including Borderline Festival in Athens, as well as new ones with Breach Festival in Cyprus and Frequent Defect in Beirut.
We are happy to bring you a four-day program comprising new creations from our beloved local artists, as well as International collaborations and commissioned work.

One of this edition’s particular highlights is the VOICE AFFAIRS project, in-the-making since well before the pandemic, a truly outstanding collaboration between the elegant vocalizing of Neue Vocalsolisten and the compositional talents of 5 renowned artists from the MENA region. Looking forward to being reunited with you all next week!

In 2021, in collaboration with our partners at hcmf//, we launched ISTIMRAR, our first series of COMMISSIONED WORKS addressed to Lebanese musicians. The purpose of this series is to keep the creativity of Lebanese musicians alive and robust and to inject some stimulation into the Lebanese musical sector as a whole.
