Month of Contemporary Music 2025: Dates and Deadlines

From September 13 to October 12, the Month of Contemporary Music will once again showcase the unparalleled richness of Berlin's contemporary music scene. This umbrella festival invites you to discover new works by Berlin ensembles, artists, and composers through concerts, performances, and sound installations.

The opening of the Month of Contemporary Music will take place on September 13, 2025. Further details will be announced in June. Please understand that public relations efforts on this day will primarily focus on the opening.

The Month of Contemporary Music is curated by the scene itself: ensembles, festivals, venues, and artists are invited to contribute events to the program. The initiative neue music e.V. and field notes only coordinate the individual events and take care of the cross-festival communication. Via the common framework of the Month, a wide range of activities can be adequately showcased and our diversity can be communicated to a broader public.
