Time Based: Sonic Interventions

Time Based: Sonic Interventions is a festival of experimental music, sound art and cross-cultural collaborations between Ukrainian and Scottish artists. With a focus on the imperative to speak out and have your voice heard, the festival offers a unique platform for collaboration via live concerts, sonic happenings and audio-visual installations – weaving together the rich cultural heritage of both nations. A talks and public engagement programme further encourages audiences to pause, reflect, and connect, to demonstrate solidarity in the face of aggression and to engage with the beauty and danger of sounds beyond our control.

Five new projects have been commissioned for Time Based: Sonic Interventions which will be presented across indoor venues and outdoor locations in Glasgow between 11 — 15 June 2025.

Audiences can purchase tickets for two performance at Civic House on 11 June and 15 June. Tickets can be purchased here on the EventBrite pages.

All other events are free to attend. Some require a ticket. Please see our website for more information about these free events and how to access tickets.
