Month of Contemporary Music

Berlin is one of the most exciting cities for contemporary music – a scene that moves between independent venues and established concert halls. Every year, the Month of Contemporary Music brings this diversity to life, showcasing a wide range of artistic positions and new works through concerts, performances, and sound installations.

The festival provides a platform for diverse artistic approaches, experimental formats, and cross-disciplinary collaborations. It offers insights into current developments and trends in the scene while creating space for exchange between artists, audiences, and cultural policymakers.
