The fifth edition of Oneness Festival – Slovaks in Concert returns to New York with an extraordinary celebration of music, culture, and international friendship. Founded by drummer, producer, and cultural ambassador Martin Valihora, the festival brings together world-renowned artists and outstanding Slovak musicians to create meaningful artistic collaborations that transcend borders and unite people through the universal language of music.

This year's program opens with a unique performance featuring some of Slovakia's most acclaimed artists, including violinist Stanislav Palúch, trumpeter Oskar Török, vocalist Simona Hulejová and an international ensemble led by Martin Valihora. Blending contemporary jazz, Slovak musical heritage, improvisation, and orchestral colors, the opening program celebrates Slovakia's rich cultural identity while embracing creativity, openness, and dialogue.

The evening culminates with an exclusive full concert by two-time Grammy Award-winning vocalist Gregory Porter, one of the defining voices of contemporary jazz and soul. Celebrated worldwide for his warmth, artistry, and humanity, Porter brings a performance that reflects the very spirit of the festival.

More than a concert, Oneness Festival is a platform for cultural diplomacy, artistic excellence, and human connection. Through music, it builds bridges between nations, communities, and generations while presenting Slovakia as a vibrant contributor to the international cultural landscape.

Join us for an unforgettable evening where world-class artistry, shared values, and the power of live music come together on one of New York City's most prestigious stages.
