III NeoArte Festival - The Synthesizer of Art, showcasing the most interesting trends in contemporary music and art, will take place in Gdańsk from October 24 to 27, 2024. The patron of this year’s edition will be the world-renowned Belgian artist Stefan Prins. A total of 12 multidisciplinary concerts and performances are planned, including 7 world premieres. Composition students will have the opportunity to participate in composition workshops led by the festival's patron and in reading sessions workshops conducted by NeoQuartet.

The concept of the event focuses on the artistic synthesis of various cultures and fields of art, providing an opportunity for cross-disciplinary integration and the creation of interdisciplinary projects. The festival is organized and produced by the NeoArte Association. Thanks to it, this edition will also introduce us to the latest global trends in contemporary music and art, performed by artists from around the world.

Especially for the festival, Anna Zaradny’s performance and a video installation by Filip Ignatowicz will be created, to be presented during the concert marathon at Gdańsk’s NOMUS.
