18:00 – Festival Opeining Talk with the Director of the festival Robertas Bliškevičius and Marta Finkelštein, the curator of Concert Porgram and the performer of the “Synaesthesis.”

The “Music Autumn” festival opens with the latest program from the contemporary music ensemble “Synaesthesis” titled “Digital Conditions.” This program features compositions by five authors, offering insights into the state of a person living in today’s world—constantly influenced by the fragmentation between reality and the digital realm.

Reflecting this year’s festival theme, GLOBAL ISSUES, the program invites us to explore our relationship with the digital world. The sonic events unfold conceptually, conveying the impact of technologies and digital media on our lives and culture. The composers navigate between irony, performativity, and refined conceptualism. The program also highlights how the structures of creation, performance, and listening are evolving in our time.
