Omsk New Music Festival in Omsk
Omsk New Music Festival programs rarely performed and sometimes brand-new scores, with composers and performers on hand as premieres unfold in front of an audience that came specifically for that risk. Held while Siberian March still carries winter cold, the festival gives Omsk concert-hall evenings a charged, discovery-driven mood rather than a familiar-repertoire comfort.
Coats steam by the door while the hall settles, and then the first sound cuts through the Siberian cold like a match struck in the dark.
