Thirty years after this event, the creators of this year's Expozice nova muzykdy have decided to reach out to other composers to contribute their own "pieces" to this breathtaking collection. A selection from that 1995 project will be performed, enriched with compositions commissioned by the Expozice nova muzykdy 2025 festival, which will be given their world premieres.
