The Como Contemporary Festival 2021 aims to be, above all, a meeting moment in which contemporary music crosses and contaminates other art forms, to give life to a unique cycle of events. During the Festival, with the focus always on today’s contemporary music, other forms of artistic expression like photography, sound art, fiber art and poetry accompany the musical compositions, and works composed for the Festival itself are presented and performed in world premières.

The opening of the Festival has been on May 22, 2021, at Villa Olmo, and the Final Concert of the 5th Edition of the International Composition Competition Appassionato Enseble will be on December 12, 2021, at the Silk Museum in Como (Museo della Seta).
