The international festival for contemporary music AFEKT is presenting itself in Berlin for the fourth time. Festival AFEKT, which has been taking place in Estonia since 2001, is dedicated to contemporary music and aims to enrich the musical landscape through performances of canonical works of new music on the one hand and through contemporary production of new music on the other. The festival has a unique face thanks to the constant participation of Estonian composers and performers.
