Irtijal
Lebanon
Music
Irtijal is presently the oldest music festival in the city of Beirut, and one of the longest-standing international festivals of post-war Lebanon. Irtijal promotes contemporary and experimental practices in music and assists projects that do not necessarily belong within the Lebanese musical mainstream.
Irtijal was created to boost and support the following practices in Lebanon: free improvisation, free jazz, contemporary classical music, post-rock, experimental electronic music, sound-art as well as many other attempts to explore new and uncharted territories in sound. Thanks to the importance of Beirut on the cultural map of the Arab world, Irtijal strives to extend these ideas to neighboring Arab countries.
Irtijal focuses on presenting works by both local and foreign artists, while encouraging interaction between them. The festival does not confine itself to any specific style or genre of music, but rather tries to advocate an experimental and innovative approach to each and every genre it showcases.
