The Pan Asia Sounding festival offers a fresh perspective on a vibrant continent with groundbreaking performances that focus on the ever-evolving present and future of Asian music and art.
The Pan Asia Sounding Festival is made to show audiences a new perspective of Asian cultures, while challenging the status quo of what is Asia from within. Too often, when it is presented in the context of Western culture, Asian art is steeped in traditional forms. This year’s thematic focus is cultural migration. What does the future look like for the Asian region? From secular to political, from voice to body, from human to technological, and from traditional to modern – each presentation in the festival addresses one of these themes, while also featuring groundbreaking music in today’s world.
