Digital at Classical:NEXT 2016

Dear Digitalistas,

We just wanted to share the highlights of our conference regarding digital & music. For those of you who are here and for those of you who could not make it this time, we will upload recordings of some sessions online, let me know which one would be especially interesting to listen to again and we will look into publishing that session early.

Yesterday's opening night was a remarkable work of digital and video interwoven into a tightly curated 70 minute performance. The fact that Apple Music and Deutsche Gramophon announced a new initiative at Classical:NEXT prior to their own press announcements the next day, shows the relevance our event and the community has in the realm of digital and art music.

Best wishes,
Paul Bräuer
