This program presents acousmatic compositions by Russian and international composers, realized within an eight-channel (octophonic) spatialization format. Spatial music is defined by the deliberate parameterization of sound localization as a core compositional technique. Closely tied to the discourse of electroacoustic music, the practice entails the projection and localization of acoustic sources within a given space, as well as the spatial trajectory of “sound objects” (objets sonores, a term theorized by Pierre Schaeffer). Utilizing an 8-channel diffusion system, this concert articulates the micro-level trajectories of sound with high fidelity, constructing a dynamic field of kinetic and transformative audio streams.

The XIII St. Petersburg International New Music Festival will take place from May 23 to June 5, 2026, serving as Russia’s premier annual contemporary music forum. Under the artistic direction of composer Mehdi Hosseini, the two-week event features more than 50 events spanning experimental, electroacoustic, electronic music, and multimedia projects. The unique format extends beyond traditional concerts to include installations, interdisciplinary collaborations, and a comprehensive educational program offering lectures, panel discussions, and composition courses. Detailed festival information, scheduling, and history are available on the About Page.

The festival brings together distinguished performers and specialized ensembles, including Ensemble Répons, the Moscow Contemporary Music Ensemble, and the St. Petersburg Improvisers Orchestra alongside other ensembles and acclaimed solo artists. These diverse presentations and experimental artistic practices will unfold across the city’s leading cultural venues, such as the Mariinsky Theatre Concert Hall, New Holland Island, and the Alexandrinsky Theatre New Stage.
