13th New Music Festival - Anti-War

In a world that, instead of respecting what it builds, destroys it, where the paeans of war dominate, the 13th New Music Festival of the Center of Cypriot Composers counters with music as a voice of peace. A festival that explores the creative power of composers and proposes new music as a necessity for security, peace and spiritual communication.
