Sounds of Diversity 

an unique project

The Sounds of Diversity concert project arose from the need to establish creative contact between the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, and Hungary. The desire for a connection and renewed artistic discussion between countries whose cultures were closely linked in the past was behind the idea of updating these relations as an artistic project based on diversity. The result is the creation of a new ensemble, consisting of a total of fourteen players representing all three countries, and a program of new compositions that will be performed successively in Ostrava, Katowice, Žilina and Budapest.

The project is based on the collaboration of artists from three countries and aims to bridge geographical and cultural borders. Four composers from four countries will present their new compositions, which were created especially for this project. These compositions will be interconnected by a performative composition with elements of improvisation, interwoven throughout the evening, which also foresees the active participation of the audience. An equally important component of the project will be the staging, built to suit the venues where the concerts will take place.

The concert mini-tour is our challenge to cross borders, a call for collaboration, and an offer of a shared experience filled with art, respect, and diversity.
