27–30 March 2025
eavesdropping returns to Cafe OTO for another four-day festival, curated by Juliet Fraser, which includes four evening double-bill events and a weekend-long forum of talks, roundtables and provocations. We hope to stimulate your ears and your imagination by presenting new work by eight artists working at the experimental fringes of a variety of genres. The programming within each set is artist-led: repertoire is only announced on the night.
During this year’s forum we will explore the topic ‘Experiments in Magic’. Weighty talks given by guest speakers (to be announced) sit alongside shorter provocations gathered through an open call. The vibe is low-key and friendly, whilst definitely being thought-provoking. If you want to get involved, you can find the Call for Provocations here. (Deadline 10 January 2025).
Full programme to be announced and box office to open 14 February 2025.
eavesdropping
eavesdropping is a platform for the sharing of new music and new ways of thinking about music. Excited by experimentalism, we create opportunities for artists and audiences to practise engaged listening and compassionate debate. Our activity includes a festival, a forum, a podcast, and training and development workshops. Our mission is to build community through an ethics of curiosity and care, in the belief that ripples do make waves.
