Roots & Routes 2026 is a four-day intercultural music exchange presented by Pasat Merdu, bringing together youth, educators, composers, and cultural practitioners to explore how music can move from dialogue into meaningful collaboration.
​
With the theme “Intercultural Music in Action” and tagline “From Conversation to Collaboration,” the symposium positions interculturalism as a lived, embodied practice rather than a theory. Participants engage directly with artists from the region through hands-on workshops, dialogue sessions, and shared music-making, examining how different traditions, identities, and creative systems can meet.
​
The programme creates space to question authorship, leadership, listening, and negotiation in cross-cultural settings. It also highlights how intercultural practice contributes to education, social cohesion, and contemporary artistic development in Southeast Asia.
​
Roots & Routes culminates in collaborative performances where ideas explored in conversation are realised in practice — making the process as important as the outcome.
