Classical:NEXT

After two successful editions in Berlin, the world’s largest international classical music conference is moving eastward: in mid-April, Classical:NEXT will take place in Budapest for the first time. Once again, the conference program offers a wide range of inspiring topics: new concert formats and audience development, digitalization and AI, change management and sustainability, and much more. Showcases will present a broad spectrum of outstanding artists and productions from genres – from early to contemporary, traditional to experimental – from around the world.

Since 2024, Andreas Richter has joined the organising GmbH as a partner and, together with the ARCC team, is responsible for the conference part of the event.
