FUTURE NOW – Central Asia

For more than 30 years, diplomatic relations have linked Germany and the Central Asian states of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. ‘FUTURE NOW - Central Asia’ is a music and film festival that aims to present various artistic perspectives from these five countries to a German audience this November. Young musicians from Germany and the five Central Asian countries will come together in an academy lasting several days. They will present their respective national contributions, listen to each other and compose the transitions between the national musical contributions as a collective. Using classical and traditional instruments, they will create musical links between historical and contemporary references.

The festival opening on 12 November at the Berlin Philharmonic (Chamber Music Hall) will mark the premiere of the German-Central Asian concert. The concert will be followed by five feature films on 13 and 14 November and 18, 19 and 20 November at delphi LUX (Yorck Cinemas), which will make traditions and cultural practices accessible to Berlin audiences through the lens of young filmmakers. Tickets for all events go on sale on 7 October.
