SOUNDS OF DIVERSITY 2024

The first edition of our festival took place in March (18.-20.3 2024). During the three concerts in Ostrava (Czech Republic), Katowice (Poland), and Žilina (Slovakia), we heard the premieres of new compositions by artists from partner countries.

An international ensemble of musicians was created, and the whole event was highlighted by an artistic visual installation.
