silk:road:10 - day 1

In the organizer's words:

In 2025, the Silk Road Music Festival Hamburg celebrates its tenth anniversary over three days! Founded in 2015 as fresh::sounds - contemporary music of the Silk Road, it has stood for a dialog between contemporary music, multimedia and the traditions of the Silk Road from the very beginning. The aim was and is to open up new cultural paths and build bridges between countries and cultures. Over the past ten years, the festival has brought together numerous artists from different cultures and inspired a diverse audience. As a result, it has developed into a lively platform for intercultural exchange and an integral part of Hamburg's cultural landscape.

The opening of silk::road::10 unites three extraordinary worlds of sound:
- the Gamelan Sekar Kenanga of the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, which brings Indonesian traditions to life with its metallic sounds,
- a contemporary piano trio with musicians from Mongolia, China and Greece, which combines classical form with modern forms of expression,
- as well as music from the young festival .M, which opens up new perspectives on interdisciplinary collaboration.

The evening will be complemented by VR installations by Hamburg artist Leonhard Onken-Menke in cooperation with the MMKH Hamburg and a stage design by Ariane Stamatescu. An opening evening full of diversity that combines tradition, innovation and international encounters.
