The focus is on the creative process

This year, the focus of “Young Music” is the creative process, birth, genesis. The idea is based on the idea of ​​the British writer Ken Robinson: “Creativity is possible where the human intelligence is actively involved.”

According to the artistic director of the festival, Kateryna Alymova, the events will aim to reveal all the meanings of creativity: “This year, we are delving into the topic of creativity and the creative process, exploring the diverse experiences of artists. They draw inspiration from their environment, reflect, interpret and try to predict. The concert program will last five days, and it will lead us through the process, interconnections and transformations from the beginning of the piece to the prediction of the result.”

Creative workshops with well-known creators

Together with local and international partners, the festival even organizes several creative workshops, the results of which will be heard and seen during the “Young Music”.
