In 2025, "SINTĒZE" will take place in two buildings of the Tallinas Street block: the exhibition itself will be held at Tallinas Courtyard, while The Sinners City will serve as a discussion club.

Visitors will have the opportunity to explore music creation, DJ equipment, and studio gear, as well as participate in diverse and educational activities that provide insight into the possibilities of modern technology in music production.

The event is open to everyone and is free of charge!!

!! We invite all visitors to bring their own headphones with a 6.3mm jack. !!

In 2025, the event "SYNTHESIS" will take place over two days: November 5 and 6, as part of Riga Music Week.

Tallinn Courtyard doors will be open to exhibition visitors on both days (November 5 and 6) starting at 2:00 PM.
