European Music, Arts & Business Forum

Usually seen as a means or entertainment, classical music is more than that. It is a way of communication, an education and career path, but also a useful tool for cultural diplomacy and international relations. How is classical music timely today, and in what ways is it relevant in today’s societies? How can it help us to address everyday challenges and how can it influence our lives?

Renowned experts and professionals will join us and provide insights on the different roles and effects of culture and classical music in today’s societies:

• Yana Barinova (ERSTE Foundation)
