Eufonia Lisbon 2020

Latest Update 28th Oct: 
Due to a deteriorating context and difficulties arisen over the last 2 week, we are unable to run Eufonia Festival this year, and decided to postpone the event to 2021. We'll take a little break with everybody else, and come back in few months with news. Stay strong.


Latest Update 14th Oct: 
!!!Tickets Available!!! Due to Covid restrictions, each session is 4 hours long: depending on which ticket you choose, you'll access different parts of the program, and will move in a group of 50 people maximum. 
Fingers crossed, next year we won't have this struggle!

[PT]  Eufonia é uma plataforma interdisciplinar que une artistas, cientistas, educadores, inovadores e investigadores de todo o mundo que compartilham o som como meio comum.

O nosso objetivo é transformar as pessoas inspirando a curiosidade, criando um espaço que seja confortável para todos, usando o som como um filtro para nos observarmos a nós mesmos, à nossa sociedade, ao nosso contexto e às relações que esses fatores criam naturalmente.

Tivemos a nossa primeira edição no ano passado em Berlim e somos um dos nomeados para “Breakthrough of the Year” por Falling Walls. Nomeação que recebemos com muito orgulho, motivando-nos, ainda mais, a lançar as nossas duas edições este ano em Lisboa e Berlim a decorrer em novembro.

Eufonia junta as mentes mais brilhantes para explorar e desenvolver respostas sobre como podemos trabalhar juntos para melhorar nossas vidas, como podemos viver melhor como uma sociedade inclusiva, cosmopolita e criativa e como criar um futuro do qual todos nos orgulhamos. Unimos conhecimentos de diversos campos e culturas, ampliando horizontes, na busca de um denominador comum.

Os participantes irão descobrir, criar e experimentar o meio sonoro de uma nova forma. Orgulhando-se de ser um ambiente inclusivo, o evento atende pessoas com incapacidades visuais e motoras.

[EN]  Eufonia is an interdisciplinary platform that unites artists, scientists, educators, innovators, and researchers from all around the world who share the common medium of sound. 

We aim to transform people by inspiring curiosity, creating a space that feels comfortable for everybody, using sound as a filter to observe ourselves, our society, our context, and the relations that those characters naturally create. 

After our first edition in Berlin last year, we've been nominated for the Award “Breakthrough of the Year” by Falling Walls, which motivated us even more, to launch our two editions this year in Lisbon and Berlin. 

Eufonia brings the brightest minds to explore and evolve the answers about how we can work together to improve our lives, how we can live better as an inclusive, cosmopolitan, and creative society and how to create a future we are all proud of. We join expertise from several fields and cultures, enlarging horizons, in the search for a common denominator.

The attendees will discover, create, and experience the medium of sound in a new way. Priding itself on being an inclusive environment, the event caters to the impaired individuals.
