Creative Music Festival with new frontiers in its 5th edition

The 5th edition of CHIII – Creative Music Festival is about to make a mark on the contemporary music scene once again. The event, which takes place between July 14 and 20, is held with the support of ProAC Editais, Goethe-Institut, Pro-Helvetia, CALQ (Quebec Council of Arts and Letters) and the French Embassy. The festival invites the public and artists from different backgrounds to an unprecedented meeting, promoting improvisation and sound experimentation in an inclusive and diverse environment.

Focused on experimental contemporary music, CHIII values ​​new languages ​​of expression, focusing on projects that include electronic elements, the use of the voice as an instrument, synthesizers, noises and various layers that challenge the limits of traditional genres, proposing new perspectives on making and consuming music .

In addition to the shows, the festival offers a variety of free educational activities, highlighting inclusion and accessibility as essential pillars. Since the 4th edition, CHIII has worked with Coletivo Devio Padrão to ensure accessibility for people with disabilities (PWDs), further valuing diversity. This year, the festival also features a sensory children’s installation, reinforcing the commitment to plural bodies and expanding the audience’s experience.

“Since the first edition, we have brought together, articulated and disseminated experimental music, serving as a catalyst for exchanges between cultural agents and contemporary musicians, both nationally and internationally, in addition to its relationship with other artistic areas, such as dance and visual arts”, says Manoela Wright, responsible for the curation, artistic direction and creation of CHIII.

The festival expands its activities and, for the first time, will have presentations in Campinas and Belo Horizonte, expanding the reach and impact of the event.

The program starts on July 14th with Venus Garland and Tetta (DE/BR) at the Municipal Historical Archive, at 7pm, offering a fusion between funk and the possibilities of the Theremin played with the tits. On the 15th, Diane Labrosse (CA) will give a workshop at Casa Líquida, from 6pm to 8pm. On July 16, Thelmo Cristovam and Rossano, accompanied by Sandra Coutinho and Saskia, will perform at the Mário de Andrade Library, starting at 8pm.
