XN is a partnership project between the Moers Festival and the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival (= hcmf//) (UK). The project focuses on improvisation and brings together genres such as jazz, free improvisation, composition, and electronic music, with a particular emphasis on new, emerging artists. hcmf//, the largest international festival for contemporary music in the UK, provides a platform for innovative programming, offering artists worldwide opportunities for presentation and development. By fostering collaborations and artistic synergy, XN strengthens the European network of the new music scene.
XN is funded by the Gesellschaft zur Verwertung von Leistungsschutzrechten mbH (GVL) and Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL) with the support of the Goethe-Institut.
