Electroacoustic Spring 2026 took place on 29 and 30 May 2026, at 8:30 p.m., at the Amphitheatre of the Department of Music Technology and Acoustics of the Hellenic Mediterranean University, in Rethymno.
Electroacoustic Spring is the annual festival of electroacoustic music in Rethymno, organised since 2014.
