Novi Sad is in a hurry to prepare for the year in which it will be the holder of one of the most prestigious titles – the title of European Capital of Culture. A kind of overture to what 2022 will look like in the city of culture will be the Project 22, which will be presented by ‘Novi Sad 2021 – European Capital of Culture’ Foundation and NEO Festival– non-classical festival of classical music.
The Project 22, resting on the ‘4 New Bridges’ slogan and through the principles of the European Capital of Culture project – decentralization, connecting the local and European scene and music as a universal language, will symbolically present the concept of the European Capitals of Culture programme for 2022 from 11 June to 3 July, i.e. during 22 days. The concept of the programme in the title is structured in eight programme arches, with a programme stream that unites them – Visit Novi Sad platform.
The entrance to all concerts is free of charge.
