In addition to its season in Venice, the Festival will underscore Venice’s historic links with the rest of the world by presenting a series of awareness concerts in major cultural centers across the world, starting with New York, London, and Paris. Epicenter Venice is also currently developing long-term collaborations with key global cultural institutions, starting with a confirmed partnership with the Beijing Festival for co-productions and joint commissions, as well as with an ongoing effort to create a biennial twin festival in the Arab World.
