Sanatorium Sonorum is a festival of sound arts held in the village of Pěčice near Mladá Boleslav. Its inaugural edition will take place in 2024. This international listening festival features compositions and artistic projects created on-site during residency programs. The event is set in the vicinity of the gamekeeper’s lodge, coinciding with a significant anniversary of the composer Bedřich Smetana, who lived here briefly. The selected artists represent contemporary trends in sonic arts, thus providing a modern form and interpretation of Smetana’s legacy.
