INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL-WORKSHOP FOR CONTEMPORARY AND IMPROVISATIONAL MUSIC “CONTEMPLAY”
“ContemPLAY” is a second annual international creative festival-workshop for contemporary experimental and improvisational music, emphasising creativity, interfering with existing contemporary music and jazz festivals and providing a platform for a vibrant free improvisational scene. The axis of the festival is the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre, the Contemporary music performance and improvisation and Academic Composition study programmes and the Centre for Music Innovation Studies of the LMTA, complemented by “LENsemble” and “Improdimensija”.
