Fusing SK/CZ with music/dance
Czech-Slovak Fusion is part of a series of two performances based on music and dance improvisation. Czech and Slovak performers will take the stage to remind the audience that although 30 years have passed since the division of the two countries, both remain in close social and artistic contact. The idea is not only to link the two countries, but also to link generations and artistic disciplines. You can see it on Sunday, 3 December in Bratislava and Thursday, 7 December in Ostrava in the Czech Republic.
Meet NEXT music
NEXT, the international festival of new music and sonic art, started in Bratislava on Wednesday, 29 November.

Gypsy Jazz Festival
The 12th International Gypsy Jazz Festival will be held in the Slovak Radio building in Bratislava on Friday and Saturday, 1-2 December.

Audiences will have the chance to see Macedonian Esma´Band Next Generation, Irish singer Charlie Moon, Israeli duo Enav Ephrat and Gilad Ephrat and US star saxophone player Jerry Bergonzi among others.
