networking and delegates program

Ireland Focus

25–27 September 2026

Musica brings together the many voices of contemporary music-making in Ireland. From traditional melodies to electronic pulses, from peat landscapes to urban soundscapes, the programme traces a sonic territory where memory and invention, heritage and contemporary experimentation continually intertwine.

The concerts and performances are complemented by a discussion devoted to Ireland's recently introduced Basic Income for the Arts, exploring how this pioneering social and cultural initiative might reshape the future of cultural policy across Europe.

Presented on the occasion of Ireland's Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
