KCMD 10th ANNIVERSARY STREAM

On 11 December 2025, Kyiv Contemporary Music Days celebrates its tenth anniversary. An online concert to mark the occasion will bring together the musicians and community that were at the origins of KCMD.

The event will feature sets of electroacoustic live performances, jams, and informal communication between participants, musicians, guests, and the KCMD team.

For us, this is an opportunity to meet face-to-face and feel that, despite the years of war and geographical dispersion, we still stick together and value one another.

In 2015, KCMD emerged from within the new music community in Kyiv. We have grown since then, with festivals, masterclasses, educational projects, community-building events, international collaborations, our own productions, support programs for Ukrainian artists, and a fund to assist musicians—in Ukraine and abroad. All this time, the community has remained our flesh and blood: it nourishes, supports, and gives us the strength to move forward. And that is why we want to celebrate our tenth birthday with you: in music, in conversation, in each other's presence—as always, only this time online.

The celebration will be supported by the Goethe-Institut Ukraine, KCMD's partner since the organization's inception.

The event will be streamed online on KCMD's YouTube and Facebook pages.
