The Bangor New Music Festival has taken place annually at Bangor University School of Music since its inception in 2000. It is the only festival dedicated to new music in North Wales, and its programme typically encompasses a diverse range of styles and types of performance, including events curated by Electroacoustic Wales, an organisation that ‘exists to promote and encourage the creation and dissemination of electroacoustic music within Wales and beyond’, and which is also based at the University.
