Artistic curator: Ioannis Angelakis
The Contemporary Music Days festival, curated by composer Ioannis Angelakis, brings to the Alternative Stage an unprecedented – by Greek standards – lineup of eighteen concerts, including six new commissions from Greek composers and a multitude of premieres and reruns. This diverse programme titled Multiple Presents maps contemporary musical creation, spanning from acoustic and electronic music to hybrid and stage works, through the coexistence of renowned ensembles and artists, newly formed groups, and emerging soloists and composers.
