[mainpage]This year's Conference Sessions will really address all sectors of classical music: The first batch of confirmed Conference sessions addresses many different issues of the classical world, first of all the study of today's audiences and the digital platforms to reach out to them. Pioneers of The Metropolitan Opera in New York and the Digital Concert Hall in Berlin, amongst others, will discuss the latest developments in the music streaming market where many pre-selected offers compete with (or complement?) the established streaming services. Regional focuses on Brazil and Korea proved successful at
last year's Classical:NEXT. This year sessions on France (see below) and the Middle East are already confirmed.
Curators and presenters will exchange on the topic of late night
music programming or even highly-improvised programmes, another trend
will be strategic management for orchestras ensembles and
institutions and educational projects. Highly interactive sessions
promise to map out the future of classical in the long term going as
far as to look into completely different spheres "outside of music to
enhance music" as Edgar Barroso, who will chair a session called
"Music for cellists and astronaut", points out:
"Classical:NEXT is a unique opportunity to seek the spirit of
collaboration, the exchange of ideas and the opening of
possibilities."
