Join Flanders Arts Institute at Classical:NEXT 2025
From 12 to 15 May Classical:NEXT, an international meeting for the classical music sector with a conference, a fair and a showcase programme, will take place in Berlin. Flanders Arts Institute will once again coordinate our sector’s presence together with Wallonie-Bruxelles Musiques (WBM).
Classical:NEXT is the main international gathering for classical music innovation in Europe. As always, we are looking forward to being part of this event again and highlighting our classical music.
