Classical:NEXT

The Global Gathering For All Art Music Professionals

Expo / Conference / Showcase Festival / Networking

Classical:NEXT is the global hub for networking and exchange, dedicated exclusively to classical and artistic music and aimed at all professionals – artists, managers, presenters, orchestras, labels, educators, press, media, publishers and more.

Classical:NEXT took place in Berlin for the first time in May 2024, and there have also been changes behind the scenes: Andreas Richter joined the organising GmbH as a partner at the beginning of the year and is responsible for the conference part of the event together with the ARCC team. Karsten Witt and Nikolaus Rexroth, both from Karsten Witt Musik Management, and Clemens Seemann are also new to the team. Fabienne Krause is responsible for the management.

The conference programme offers a wide variety of inspiring topics: new concert formats and audience development, digitality and AI, change management and sustainability and many more. Showcases present a broad spectrum of high-calibre artists and productions of all genres from early to contemporary, traditional to experimental from all over the world.
