[mainpage]The Classical:NEXT Live Showcases are underpinned by a commitment to highlighting unorthodox approaches and new formats.
Ranging from music composed live by audience involvement (Ensemble U:, Estonia) to visual art accompanying the piano (Marc Tritschler playing Bunita Marcus, USA/Germany) or a blend of solo performance and sound installation (Zefiro Torna, Belgium), the 2015 line-up
encapsulates where classical music is heading. Contemporary compositions (Kaleidoscope String Quartet, Switzerland) and re-compositions (Uwaga!, Germany) will challenge the classical genre by crossing the borders to jazz or even Middle Eastern music (Rembrandt Frerichs Trio, The Netherlands).
The showcases will further reflect recent trends such as classical music in comedy (James Rhodes, UK) or special programmes for children (Cellostorm project, The Netherlands).
Video Showcases and other short project presentation formats to be announced soon!
