Although the festival will have started with some great collaboration concerts already the week before, we wanted to take this opportunity to create a gathering for everybody interested in contemporary, electronic, experimental and improvised music

The Opening of Göteborg Art Sounds will be a unique chance to meet the festival’s new artistic directors: Stefan Klaverdal [SE] and Clara de Asís [ES/ NL]! There will be concerts with amazing Per Herman Jonsson och Dexter Diestro Esporlas from the Academy of Music!

There will be speeches, mingle, music, snacks and drinks!

The theme of Göteborg Art Sounds 2024 is “REFLECTIONS” and we invite you to celebrate and reflect about new music with us! The restaurant Husette next door will also be open for anybody who wants something to eat. At 19.30 we are moving over to Paviljong 8 to take part in BrÖtz’s concert, arranged in collaboration with Göteborg Art Sounds.
