Electronic music in Leuk
The Forum Valais will take place in November 2022 at Leuk Castle. Works can be submitted as part of the "Call for Acousmatic Works" from now until July 1.
As announced by Forum Wallis, the international festival for new music Forum Wallis 2022 will take place for the third time in a row at Leuk Castle in November rather than at Whitsun as usual. The decision is based on the long-term consequences of the coronavirus pandemic: several major events that had to be postponed for two years due to the pandemic are now taking up the dates in the first half of the year. The exact festival program will be announced in late spring.
