Euroclassical is a collaborative network of top European music schools, designed to support the most talented students at that critical stage between final training and a professional career. Euroclassical will help students make contact with international peers, music professionals (instrumentalists, promoters, programmers, critics, agents) and the world-wide audience.
Euroclassical will:
// raise the profile of performances in each school;
// bring together students from several schools annually in Santander, Spain; and
// open a virtual stage (inside the platform Classicalplanet.com) to disseminate the best performances through live webcasts, an annual virtual festival and a permanent on-demand auditorium.
In the process, Euroclassical will become a meeting-place for music-lovers over the world by offering performances that are quality-guaranteed and free in an attractive web environment, heavily oriented towards social interaction.
Classicalplanet.com, Euroclassical’s web platform, is being developed by Fundación Albeniz in a separate project, financed by Spain’s Ministry of Industry.
Euroclassical proposes to:
// strengthen relationships and create new bonds between top European music schools to promote cross-cultural dialogue, mobility and global dissemination of the most outstanding performances by young European musicians;
// broaden opportunities and promote the careers of these talented artists by creating a meeting-place between peers, cultural entrepreneurs, young and established musicians and classical music enthusiasts, and by disseminating and endorsing their best performances via Classicalplanet.com.
// encourage and support young musicians’ trans-national mobility by:
– supporting the “virtual mobility” of music and musicians
– encouraging current mobility between music schools that gather brilliant students from diverse countries, and
– bringing together the best artists of these schools in the Santander Encounter of Music and Academia
