About Post-Sonic Experiment

Post-Sonic Experiment aims to promote and advance contemporary music creation as expressed through the artistic work of emerging composers and diverse musical ensembles. Its activities focus on organizing musical events that revolve around the multidimensional field of contemporary classical music, including concerts, open jams, improvisation sessions, and related formats.
A fundamental principle of the initiative is the promotion of new music beyond the academic framework, presenting it through the perspective of an independent, self-managed, and self-sustained initiative centered on the creator. An important goal of Post-Sonic Experiment is to cultivate and spread the idea that contemporary classical music is not addressed exclusively to musically trained audiences, but to anyone who appreciates art. It is viewed as an inexhaustible source of artistic expression, directly connected to the past, the present, and the future.
