CESMA

CESMA (European Center for Studies in Music and Acoustics) is an interdisciplinary institution based in Zurich, dedicated to advanced education, research, and practice in the fields of arts, technology, and systems.

We organize lectures, workshops, concerts, talks, listening sessions, and experimental formats that explore sound, music, audio, audiovisual media, and integrated technological environments. Our events bring together artists, engineers, researchers, educators, and students, fostering dialogue between theory and practice, creativity and technology.

CESMA events are conceived as open laboratories: spaces for learning, experimentation, and exchange, aimed at both emerging talents and experienced professionals. Through a strong focus on quality, critical thinking, and hands-on experience, we promote a contemporary and rigorous approach to media, sound, and technological culture.
