Dear guests, dear audiophiles,
Dear people with open ears
Radical comes from radish. Or not quite. Radical has to do with roots, with the effort to get to the bottom of things, to penetrate tirelessly to a depth. Radical is what needs no habit. Under the motto ‘Radical Audio’, Sonohr 2025 presents pieces, positions and productions that think about the medium of audio in terms of possibilities, proximity and sensuality.
We are looking forward to bringing together audio creators, audio enthusiasts and the curious for three days to experience current work in Switzerland and Europe. For example, in the five blocks of works nominated for the national competition. In three listening sessions with short pieces. In the guest contributions and listening sessions by outstanding guests. Or in the completely new format ‘A Play in a Day’ – on Friday, plays will be conceived and realised during the day to open the festival in the evening. Take a risk together, immerse yourself in the immediacy of the world. Use your ears to feel together at the 15th edition of SONOHR. We hope you’ll be there!

The SONOHR radio & podcast festival is a three-day celebration of creative documentary and fictional audio stories that are rich in sound, and an event which also allows for an active exchange between authors and the audience. We offer the unique experience of enjoying thrilling radio dramas, intriguing documentaries, experimental sound art or interactive audiowalks together with friends and like-minded people in high-quality sound and in the comfortable setting of a cinema.
Our selection includes a national competition as well as outstanding and innovative audio creations from around the world. The side program offers opportunities to various forms of listening and discusses new developments in the field.
