Bridging Balkan Borders listening session: New music from Southeast Europe

A special listening session presenting original music created during the Bridging Balkan Borders songwriting camp.

Following a four-day residency in Athens, selected songwriters and producers from across Southeast Europe come together to share the results of their collaboration with a curated audience of music professionals and the wider AMW community.

The session offers a first listen to new material developed during the camp, while creating a space for connection between emerging talent and industry representatives, including publishers, labels and A&Rs.

Part of Athens Music Week 2026, this moment reflects the core idea behind Bridging Balkan Borders: that collaboration across scenes can open new pathways, strengthen regional ties and support artists in building a more sustainable international presence.
