Another Music Festival — three evenings of music shaped by exile

Curated by violinist Roman Mints, this year’s Another Music Festival unfolds as a three-day journey through the legacy of composers who lived and created in exile — whether forced or chosen — and how distance from home reshaped their art. The line-up spans Chopin, Stravinsky, Hindemith and Enescu, highlights neglected voices such as Ukrainian composer Theodore Akimenko and Stefania Turkewich, and features contemporary premieres that continue the dialogue between displacement and creativity.

Each evening opens a new perspective on exile: Day I reflects on loss and the search for belonging; Day II explores the liminal state of being “in-between”; Day III amplifies unheard voices whose stories of migration have long remained overlooked. Together, the three programmes form a cohesive narrative about identity, memory and transformation expressed through chamber music.

The concerts take place at St John’s Waterloo.

Day I — January 18

 Day II — January 21

Day III — January 23
