Contemporary Ear is a sonic curating agency and institutional platform dedicated to producing new projects in collaboration with a wide range of artists and organizations.
Founded in 2017 by Marta Finkelštein to represent the Contemporary Music Ensemble Synaesthesis, it has received support from the Lithuanian Culture Council, Lithuanian Culture Institute, Vilnius Municipality, Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania, Go Vilnius, the Nordic Council of Ministers, and the Ernst von Siemens Foundation.
Currently, Contemporary Ear is undergoing a conceptual revision, with the aim of reemerging as a curatorial laboratory for sonic endeavours.
