/ Established and curated by UK based Sound Artists and musician Illi Adato, Oooh Festival is a journey of Spontaneous Music. It happens in the realm of Instant Composition and Free Improvisation. It hosts a long list of leading artists from all over the world all of which are coming together for a common purpose; to co-create. In the beautiful surrounding of one of Sicily's most magical places, Ragusa Ibla, the ancient part of the City of Ragusa we gather and make music in late July. As of 2018 Oooh is welcoming improvised art and performance styles in order to expand our creative circle, we include and collaborate in a cross-disciplinary mannar with a growing list of artists.
