Most Vital Get-Together!

I’ll say unequivocally that Classical:NEXT was the most vital music get-together I’ve participated in the last twelve months. I think it has the potential to be the most viable international gathering place for open-minded music-focused people.

- Frank J. Oteri
New Music USA

Ahead of the Game

Classical:NEXT is much more forward-thinking - it's about new ways to experience classical music, new projects, new artists, new repertoire, all sorts of exciting, innovative ways of looking at classical music.

- Laura Edralin
Royal Albert Hall

It's A Must!

There’s nothing quite like Classical:NEXT. You won’t find this mix of people and organisations anywhere else. For anyone in the classical music world it’s a must!

- William Norris
Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra

The Best Place To Meet People

I found that the Expo worked particularly well. It gave me a look into different countries, continents as well as organisations and the current work each of them are occupied with. The expo was for me the best place to meet people and learn about their current directions and projects by having in-depth and broad conversations.

- Tang Tee Khoon
Arts Presenter & Concert Violinist

 

The Classical:NEXT conference offers useful, inspiring, interactive content. Take home practical tips and fertile ideas to apply to your specific situation. Learn about new trends in marketing and audience outreach from within and outside the orchestra scene. Learn about new management strategies and get informed on the classical scene across the world.

 

Where should we, and the genre, go from here?

Classical:NEXT is the place to discuss and take action on exactly this, together with not only your immediate peers and partners but representatives from all areas of the art music world. At Classical:NEXT, this is a world where both artistic and business themes have their rightful place.

“It's the only place internationally where you can take the temperature of where the industry is at this moment in time."
David Bahanovich, Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance
