Showcase Festival

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

The Showcase Festival shows artists and productions in a series of short live concerts – a unique opportunity to experience many performances in a minimum amount of time.

It is comprised of Showcases performing during the day and evening, Club Showcases and DJs, off C:N Showcases and performances at the Opening and Closing ceremony.

What is a Showcase?   Artists 2019

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.
