Border NGOs, active in the field of concert organisation and cultural events, have been united in GONG Platform.
GONG fulfils the need to unite the border area of the Nova Gorica region and the Municipality of Nova Gorica with the surrounding area into a common cultural space, where the visitors of the concerts and other cultural events from both sides of the border represent one public. The aim of the project is also to make a long-term mark on the wider border area, accelerate the development of local musical culture and place our conurbation on the world map of popular music destinations.
The GONG project is designed as a support structure for the European Capital of Culture GO! 2025. The partners of the project are GONG Institute (Nova Gorica, SI), KUD Morgan (Nova Gorica, SI), Masovna Institute (Nova Gorica, SI), KUD Zvočni izviri (Nova Gorica, SI), Circolo Controtempo (Cormons, IT), Gruppo Area di Ricerca - Dobialab (Dobbia, IT) and Associazione culturale MoreMusic (Monfalcone, IT).
This Saturday, 2 November, GONG Platform organises GONG District, day-long cross-border celebration of music, the first in a series of events in the year of the ECoC GO! 2025.
