Voices Festival in Berlin

On the weekend of 14-15 October, Valeria Gorokhovskaya, promoter of composers & repertoire at Donemus Publishing, is attending the Voices Festival in Berlin. It is a short, but intense trip full of great concerts o.a. by Klangforum Wien and Neue Vocalsolisten, and interesting panel discussions as well.

The Voices Festival is an independent space that presents the voices of artists who could otherwise not be heard due to the current personal and collective trauma that is affecting the world. These partly impaired voices reflect individual experiences and the conflict between national and international identities. Their personal struggles help identify contemporary challenges for society and contemporary culture. The Voices program explores new cultural phenomena within contemporary performing arts from various countries that are heirs of the USSR but which managed to preserve their traditions even during the Soviet era. It highlights the diverse array of artists from these regions who, in recent years, have either been displaced from their home countries or have had to redefine their professional relationships within an extraterritorial and transnational context.

Also remarkable is that many Donemus composers are presented at the Voices Fest and are attending in person, such as Vladimir Rannev, Maxim Kolomiiets, Valery Voronov, Alexander Khubeev and Anna Korsun. The Voices festival will give Valeria the opportunity to meet our composers as well as to discover new talents and partners.
