Classical:NEXT 2024 Estonian delegation and events

Classical:NEXT is the global networking and exchange hub dedicated exclusively to classical and art music, for all professionals – artists, managers, presenters, orchestras, labels, educators, press, media, publishers and more. This year it’s taking place from the 13-17th of May. Classical:NEXT consists of an interactive conference, project pitches, showcase concerts, expo, innovation award and networking. By taking part in Classical:NEXT, you join over 1,000 professionals from more than 45 countries worldwide.

Music Estonia, in collaboration with the Estonian Music Information Centre (EMIC), coordinates the Estonian delegation at the international classical and contemporary music showcase festival and conference, Classical:NEXT 2024. It remains the sole platform for annual gatherings and network expansion for both emerging and established professionals in this field. Additionally, we aim to organize, for the first time, a pre-fair networking event in Berlin with selected professionals from the German music sector. This networking event is targeted towards our music industry professionals who are part of the C:N 2024 delegation. We are working alongside local partners such as the Berlin Music Commission and the Estonian Embassy in Berlin

Co-organizers include the Estonian Music Information Centre, with Klassikaraadio and the Latvian Music Information Centre as partners.
