FESTIVAL PROGRAM
Mehdi Hosseini
Composer, Artistic Director of the St. Petersburg
International New Music Festival
The reMusik.org Festival has now for over a decade offered extraordinary open performance platforms for a new generation of composers and musicians from around the world. Additionally, it has also provides a space for cultural dialogue and discourse in which new ideas and unexpected paths to contemporary art are born.
During the 12 years of its existence, our reMusik.org Festival has become a central point on the map of new music, not only in Russia, but throughout the world, – a festival that presents listeners annually with the widest varieties of new music.
The festival’s multiple events will also include an interactive audio exhibit that shows how new music can connect with the phenomena around us, – with the objects and sounds we encounter and interact with every day. The expansion of the festival was largely made possible thanks to the enormous success of our interactive educational programs, in which young talented performers and composers collaborated in a creative exchange as teachers and learners. Through the reMusik.org Lab, they find their own voice, create meaningful compositions, and enrich their musical experiences.

ONLINE LEARNING
Each year the festival invites prominent people to drive debate on new music topics. Lectures are important event on the festival’s calendar, and encourages people to enter into dialogue – often about difficult subjects – in order to address the challenges we face today.
The project offers the opportunity to look at new music through the eyes of the music’s authors and to hold a discussion with them – not only about the internal musical structures and compositional tools of their works, but about the very process of composing itself.
Music Talks are exploring music will centre on what is «new» in art music, and what means can be used to attain it. What characterises the language of now, and how far can we say that what is generally perceived as «new» is in fact new?
Conduct workshops and master classes in collaboration with practicing composers, musicians and artists.
