SKIF, Sergey Kuryokhin International Festival, is a multidisciplinary international festival of modern arts, taking place each year since 1998 in St.Petersburg, Russia.
Sergey Kuryokhin was internationally known Russian composer, musician, performer, and an extremely influential figure in Russian rock, jazz and experimental music. Since his untimely death in 1996 the foundation and the festival were established to promote contemporary music and arts in Russia. SKIF-1 and SKIF-2 were held in 1997 and 1998 in New York City, SKIF-3 came to Kuryokhin’s home city St.Petertsburg and from now is held here.
From 2005 SKIF takes place in the Modern Art Center in St.Petersburg, a new residence of the festival and Sergey Kuryokhin Foundation.
Music performed defies stylistic and aesthetic boundaries. It both draws upon and challenges accepted notions of jazz, electronics, classical, ethnic, world music etc.
From the outset SKIF, in the true spirit its founder’s "Pop-Mechanical" concept, aspired to maintain a truly multi-media nature featuring along with music, dance, theatre, visual arts, film, video, performance art, electronic media and everything else that does not fit into any category.
