The concerts take place as part of our the third International Iannis Xenakis composition competition and a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the composer’s birth which is starting in a few weeks.

The Belgian ensemble INFLUX-Acousmonium specializes in electroacoustic music of the 20th and 21st century, with particular emphasis on modern 3D sound diffusion techniques. In their concerts at Thessaloniki, they will present works by composers who have worked with Acousmonium, an electro-acoustic opera by ANNETTE VANDE GORNE, director of the ensemble and head of the competition committee, as well as the works that got an award out in this year’s competition and of course works of Iannis Xenakis.
