Its primary objective is to unite paramount figures in classical music, both from Romania and abroad. Throughout the summit, a rich array of activities will unfold, encompassing conferences, round tables, showcases, workshops, concerts, masterclasses, and one-on-one sessions.
In the course of this initiative, we have garnered support from a diverse spectrum of participants, including representatives from the Ministry of Culture, directors of cultural institutions, delegates from artistic management agencies abroad, educators from institutions specializing in music, both national and international, as well as individuals from the corporate world who share a profound connection with classical music. Additionally, we welcome the involvement of independent artists, students, pupils, and enthusiasts of classical music. All of these contributors, together with our audience, form a vital part of this dynamic cultural convergence.
ClassicalME Summit 2024 aligns with the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), fostering a sustainable and equitable world by 2030 and advancing sustainability within the classical music industry for all stakeholders.
Showcases serve as a platform for artists to present their talents to the discerning audience of Classical ME. Encouraging creativity and experimentation, these sessions provide independent artists, chamber ensembles, and cultural organizations the opportunity to show their artistic endeavors through solo recitals, chamber concerts, or interdisciplinary performances. This exposure grants them substantial visibility, as the ClassicalME audience comprises some of the most influential figures in classical music, both nationally and internationally.
This year we will have 4 moments performed by local young instrumentalists who are extremely talented. On the first day, Lois Muntean on violin and Darius Cîrstulescu on horns will take the stage and on the second day we will have a violin duo in the first part of the day consisting of violinists Ardelean Timeea and Gherasim Estera, while the last performance will be given by the young cellist Ionescu Tudor.

This platform facilitated direct interaction with models of excellence from the European and American landscape, showcasing best practices related to education, development, audience diversification, self-management, artist career growth, and the innovative use of new media techniques in contemporary music.
