OMAFestival
Conceived by the Agenda Publishing House, OMAFestival is an innovative artistic event focused on the promotion of today’s music: the Festival addresses the varied world of contemporary musical expressions, to enhance the creative richness and the different artistic orientations, with no style discrimination.
The Call for scores is an opportunity to meet the creativity of the composers and the interpretation of the performers involved: through this event, OMA Festival proposes the recording of the songs sent, the production of online schedules, the broadcast to an international audience.
Digital products creation with a high artistic profile at the end of the process is made possible by the support of contemporary art scene experts and interpreters. Each schedule requires a working group – chaired and coordinated by Agenda – which avails itself of the contribution of critics, musicologists, composers and performers, united in presenting and discussing specific selected themes.
