Classical Music Today

Sometimes it takes just a single note to set everything in motion. A cello that touches your soul. A grand piano that transcends boundaries. A trumpet that bathes the evening in golden light.

Classical music is not a static state. It is a process. In 2026, we will show just how vibrant it sounds today: virtuosic, powerful, open. More classical in repertoire – fresher in expression.

The meetMUSIC Open Air stands for music that does not hide behind tradition, but carries it forward.

Sound in motion.
And you right at the heart of it.
