Showroom of Contemporary Sound is not your classical music festival that is, ironically, full of classically trained musicians. For the next four days Student Center at Savska street 25, will be a meeting point for 100 musicians, musical explorers, sound artists, composers and performers from 12 countries.
‘They are honest in endeavors, relentless in attempts, creative in processes, open in the approach, curious and ready for challenges. Artists who turn limits into possibilities. Exactly those kind of participants make it possible to direct our festival towards exploration, process and development, giving preference to the music scene and community rather than merely following rules of the music industry’, said Davorka Begovic, festival’s art director while announcing this year’s program.
The Showroom opens on May 5th and lasts until May 8th.
