A NOTE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTORS…
Music is in a constant state of flux — adapting and taking on new life as it crosses borders, cultures, and time. Just as tectonic plates shift slowly but inevitably, musical traditions push against one another, sparking something new.
This year’s festival brings together music shaped by European traditions, Eastern mysticism, and American experimentalism, revealing the exchanges of influence that connect composers across distance and time. Through iconic repertoire, overlooked voices, and contemporary masterpieces, we will discover how composers share their homeland through their sound, how tradition transforms through cultural contact, and how identity can both anchor and evolve.
Please join us on this series of musical journeys not defined by borders, but by the ongoing drift of ideas and inspiration.
