Meet-up

Going international? Going International!

Sharing insights, experiences and perspectives on exporting classical music

In an ever-evolving landscape—marked by rising protectionism, new market access regulations, and shifts in funding structures and cultural policies—classical and contemporary music professionals must continuously rethink their strategies to fulfil their missions and ensure long-term stability. International development is becoming increasingly significant and is now a key focus in today’s cultural and economic climate.

Why go international? What are the costs and benefits? What resources are required? What are the potential risks?

For artists, orchestras, promoters, venues, festivals, and agents alike, developing work abroad has never been more relevant.

This meet-up brings together export offices from across Europe to engage with the audience, sharing their insights, experiences, and perspectives on exporting classical and contemporary music. Discussions will explore diverse viewpoints, illustrated by current examples from multiple countries.
