Founded in 1987, the Exposition of New Music is a festival of contemporary experimental works, which sees the “exposition” of its title not solely as a presentation, but also as interaction, participation and lively communication with people and the public space.
Since 2012, when the Filharmonie Brno became the festival’s organiser, our programming has followed various threads, based on the spatial arrangements of the city of Brno, and responding to a need to reflect the rich gamut of trends present in contemporary musical productions. Thus, the Exposition has focused on sound installations, noise music and musical interventions into the public space, as well as traditional concert performances. Since 2020, the festival has a new programmer, who proposes an entirely new – his own – perspective on contemporary music.
We would also like to present projects that go beyond music itself or link music with other media new or old, be that in the form of installations, screenings, exhibitions, in situ performances or other.
37th Exposition of New Music
[SATIE] 100 YEARS AFTER
31 May – 4 June 2025
In recent years, the concept behind the international Exposition of New Music festival has typically centred around a unifying idea that shapes the overall programme. And in 2025, we mark 100 years since the passing of one of the most influential figures of the 20th century—Erik Satie.
The 2025 edition will offer a broad and in-depth presentation of Satie’s work, alongside contemporary compositions by artists influenced by his legacy.
