Estonia will be represented at Classical:NEXT 2025, the global networking and showcase hub dedicated exclusively to classical and art music. The event gathers professionals from across the sector — artists, managers, presenters, orchestras, labels, educators, media, filmmakers, publishers, and more.

Classical:NEXT features an interactive conference, project pitches, showcase concerts, an expo, innovation awards, and extensive networking opportunities.

Music Estonia, in collaboration with the Estonian Music Information Centre (EMIC), is coordinating the Estonian delegation to this key international platform for both emerging and established classical and contemporary music professionals. The event offers a crucial space for visibility, collaboration, and development in the field. Ahead of the fair, Music Estonia will also host a special networking event in Germany with selected delegates and professionals.
