Classical Music

Classical Music is the only dedicated magazine for the Classical Music industry in the UK, with features, news and reviews for performers, agents, managers, promoters along with anyone with an interest in the music world.

We provide unique insight into what’s going on in the sector, with regular coverage of festivals, competitions, courses and concerts, as well as key career information for musicians and details of new appointments. Classical Music has remained at the heart of the profession since its foundation in 1976 and continues to keep readers at the forefront of the latest developments in the industry.

In Classical Music’s spring issue, our cover feature pays tribute to Sir John Eliot Gardiner, looking back on an extraordinary career in celebration of the legendary conductor’s 80thbirthday. We also hear from ABO/Classical Music award winners Adam McGinlay and Dougie Scarfe, as well as getting insight from CBSO’s incoming chief conductor, Kazuki Yamada. Elsewhere, Kate Molleson reflects on the role she plays bringing live music to radio audiences and we learn more about the Elgar Society’s history and purpose. This issue offers fundraising guidance for self-employed musicians looking to raise money for their next project as well as advice for touring without breaking the bank. We also gain inspiration from the new generation of composers defying genre boundaries in search of their new sound and learn more about Birmingham Contemporary Music Group’s innovative scheme to support the creation of new music. Plus, our usual news, opinions and focuses on funding, venues, touring and more.
