The concert series features compositions from the 20th and 21st centuries by important world-famous composers, living or deceased, with solo performers and lecturers at the music academy and the School of Inspirito Music. The third program of the concert series ‘20th Century Music’ offers various musical styles and languages from different countries.

Audiences who join the online performance will have a chance to listen to renowned compositions by two big names of the 20th century, Paul Hindemith (Germany) and Igor Stravinsky (Russia). Reminiscence of soviet jazz will be heard through recently deceased Nikolay Kapustin (Russia). Closer to our generation and very active in international music are compositions by Fazil Say (Turkey), Sheila Silver (USA) and a new strong voice of contemporary composition from Vietnam - the artist Pho Duc Hoang.
