From new encounters to further collaboration

Since 2017, the NEO Music Festival has been collaborated with Novi Sad 2021-2022 and organizes classical music concerts in several locations in the city every summer. Inviting performers from different backgrounds, the festival brings classical music to audiences in an unusual way. In 2021, the festival presented "Project 22", a programme based on the concept of "For New Bridges", the slogan of the European Capital of Culture. Ms. Annette Jakovčić (cello), Ms. Kana Matsui (violin), Mr. Shinnosuke Inugai (piano) and Ms. Mutsumi Ito (flute) were invited to perform at the festival, together with musicians from Serbia, Uzbekistan and Hungary. The concerts were a great success and were applauded by the audience. The artists also taught master classes at the Novi Sad Academy of Arts and participated in greening activities in the city, interacting with young musicians and local people. The artists are now preparing for further collaborations and repeat performances in Novi Sad.
