With the six-day festival Resistance of Sounds, the In Situ Art Society presents a broad spectrum of Ukrainian new music, starting with the composers of the “Kiev avant-garde”, which came to the public’s attention around 1960, but to a violent extent among advocates of conservative Soviet musical aesthetics Rejection met, like Leonid Hrabovsky and Valentin Silvestrov, up to the youngest generation – Adrian Mocanu, Anna Arkushyna, Alisa Kobzar and others.

Ukrainian new music is shown in its continuous development over decades, in harmony with the European zeitgeist, but also in search of its own path.
