Curated by violinist Roman Mints, this year’s Another Music Festival celebrates the legacy of composers who lived and created in exile — some forced, some chosen — and how separation from their homeland reshaped their art.
From historical giants such as Chopin, Stravinsky, Hindemith, and Enescu to neglected voices like Ukrainian composer Theodore Akimenko, the festival traces a journey through music shaped by migration.
Across three evenings of chamber music, international artists perform works by Chopin, Rachmaninov, Stravinsky, Hindemith, Enescu and others, alongside new works and UK premieres by contemporary composers who continue the conversation between displacement and creativity.
Each programme offers a different perspective on exile — from nostalgia and memory to renewal and transformation.
