The Music Biennale Zagreb festival takes place every other year, but our projects run year-round.Whether you’re new to contemporary music or a seasoned professional, there’s a place for you at MBZ.
A year-round programme of workshops and gatherings open to everyone, from those who already play to those just starting out and curious to explore contemporary music. The project is carried out in collaboration with artists, educators and specialists experienced in working with children and young people.
A meeting place for professionals in contemporary music. During the festival, curators, composers, producers and artists from Croatia and across Europe come together in Zagreb to experience the programme, connect and exchange ideas about what comes next.
A masterclass for emerging composers, mentored by leading contemporary music artists. Taking place in Zagreb in April 2027, with participants selected through an open call.
Synergy Amplified: Innovating the Classical Music Ecosystem is a project co-funded by the European Union connecting festivals and organisations across nine countries. MBZ is one of its partners.
In November 2026, we host the 23rd Sound and Music Computing Conference, exploring the intersection of music, sound and technology. Under the theme INTERPLAY, the programme includes research presentations, concerts, sound installations and a Winter School for emerging researchers and practitioners.
