Showcase Festival

Classical:NEXT presents artists and ensembles from around the world that push the boundaries and extend the horizons of art music.

The Showcase Festival features a live concert series of artists and productions across different formats, providing a unique opportunity to experience a number of performances in a short amount of time.

The Festival is comprised of Daytime and Evening Showcases, Club Showcases and DJs with performances at the Opening Night and Innovation Award ceremony.

Most of the Showcases from 2020 have been postponed and shifted to 2021 and we look forward to welcoming them at de Doelen in Rotterdam this year in September along with some new acts.

Please note, all programme elements are subject to change due to COVID guidelines and regulations.

The Classical:NEXT Showcases are selected by an international jury of experts to present a wide range of high-quality artists and productions in every category from early to contemporary, traditional to experimental. Soloists and small ensembles as well as large ensembles, opera productions or musical theatre projects can be presented through a showcase concert.
