SynchroForm 2024

Croatian Contemporary Music Platform

About the SynchroForm:

SynchroForm is a platform dedicated to emerging and mid-career composers, conceived by composer Tibor Szirovicza during the pandemic crisis with the support of the Synchronos ensemble. Its mission is to ensure the continuity of creative work and the presentation of new compositions by contemporary music composers. This innovative platform integrates all key elements for promoting and developing contemporary music: outstanding performances, high-quality recordings, and robust promotion via social media and specialized music platforms.

Following several successful years of showcasing Croatian contemporary composers in Croatia and across the EU, SynchroForm will continue to foster collaboration with both Croatian and international artists—performers and composers alike—with the aim of further strengthening and expanding the global presence of Croatian composers.
