Classical music on a platter

The Classical:NEXT is a forum for artists and professionals from various fields of classical and contemporary music. From event organizers and festivals to publishers, labels and associations to agencies and music creators: 1200 music professionals from 45 countries took part in the sixth edition last May (see short report in the Schweizer Musikzeitung). Next year's seventh Classical:NEXT in Rotterdam will once again offer the opportunity to expand your own international network. It will also feature an extensive program with showcases, conferences and project presentations. The tendering process is currently underway:

Deadline for submissions is Friday, September 29, 2017.

Musicians can apply with their stage projects for a showcase performance, and speakers can propose their ideas for conference contributions and project presentations to a jury. Those selected will be given the opportunity to present themselves to a large, international audience of experts at Classical:NEXT 2018.

Classical:NEXT will take place at Congress Center de Doelen, Rotterdam (NL), from 16 to 19 May 2018. We are looking for music contributions, projects and conference formats from all areas of classical music creation, from early to new music, from the concert, label, publishing or media sector.

Applications can be submitted electronically via the trade fair's online proposal system: www.classicalnext.org.
