At the SILK::ROAD Festival, ancient soundscapes meet contemporary imagination.
Traditional instruments, voices, and gestures are recontextualized  stepping beyond their origins to resonate in new acoustic, spatial, and emotional dimensions.

​

Through concerts, performances, and installations, audiences are invited to experience the living cultures of the Silk Road, not as distant heritage, but as a pulse that continues to move through us.
Each encounter becomes an act of listening, sensing, and remembering. An invitation to be present.

​

The festival is a platform for artistic exploration across disciplines.
It opens a space where music interacts with movement, architecture, light, and technology where perception itself becomes part of the composition.

​

Rather than reproducing traditions, SILK::ROAD seeks transformation:
to reveal how sound and presence can shape shared experience, how artistic forms can shift and expand in dialogue with the world around them.

​

Emerging in 2019 from the Hamburg concert series fresh::sounds – Seidenstrasse (2015–2019), held at resonanzraum Hamburg, the SILK::ROAD Festival is a new concept curated by composer Jelena Dabić, continuing her ongoing exploration of sound as space and performance as a form of connection.
