Organisers Piranha Arts and de Doelen concert hall Rotterdam announced today the first ten speakers from nine different countries including Hannah Chan-Hartley (Canada), managing editor & musicologist at Toronto Symphony Orchestra and Louise Durette from the French cultural concept agency Alto, who commented:
"Exchanging insights and ideas, meeting professionals at Classical:NEXT breathes fresh life into each classical music year. It is very exciting and motivating."
The hands-on topics address how to bring together artistic commitments and business achievements in a sustainable way, which is not an easy thing to do in art music, neither live nor recorded. Further sessions show the role of the printed programme book and, how classical should and could use video more to reach new people. And one interactive workshop will provide a tool to discover how attractive your artistic project really is to your audience.
See all ten speakers below. Find an overview of all speakers and topics announced so far on the Classical:NEXT website.
More programme, including showcase artists and project pitches is to be announced in the coming weeks.
