The Arēna new music festival has opened for the 25th time. The festival continues to explore the many sides of contemporary sound art, and this year it offers five events that differ markedly from one another.

What the programme covers

Over the course of the festival, artists and audiences will look for points of contact between several art forms:

  • chamber music and video art;
  • opera and electronics;
  • improvisation and light dramaturgy.

According to the headline of the LSM report, the international and the Latvian come together in the festival's new sound. The source gives no further details about specific performers, venues or dates, so none are given here.
