The world's best way to find live classical music

Articles about how to promote classical music to new audiences, young and old

In these articles, we are focusing on different organisations who each have an idea how to encourage a new generation into classical music. We frequently read articles going over the same ground, namely that audiences are aging and suggesting that classical music is in terminal decline. We rarely see articles talking about the work being done by wonderful, tireless individuals and organisations and by entrepreneurs who want to foster a love of music in more of the population. Taken individually no single idea will halt the much-vaunted decline, but when taken together, these ideas can make a big difference.

Anyone reading these articles and wishing to tell us what work they are doing in this field can reach us either through twitter or the contact us page.

Quartets, Quintets, Pianists: Playing Chamber Music

“This morning I visited the two Signor Bezozzis, whose talents are well known to all travellers of taste in music. Their long and uninterrupted regard for each other is as remarkable as their performance. They are brothers; the eldest seventy, and the youngest upwards of sixty... The eldest plays the hautbois, and the youngest the bassoon, which instrument continues the scale of the hautbois, and is its true base... So much expression! Such delicacy! Such a perfect acquiescence and agreement together, that many of the passages seem heart-felt sighs, breathed through the same reed.”1

Help us! Classical-loving North American volunteers needed

We need your help. Bachtrack may be the largest classical concert finder online, but we know that it doesn’t cover North America as well as it should. We’re determined to do better at this, but we’re a very small company, based in the UK, without big sponsors or government funding. We’re just a tiny team of four people, and we can’t add all the events ourselves as we just don’t have the time.

So we’re asking you. If you’re web-savvy with a bit of time to offer, we’d love it if you could get in touch and maybe start helping us to list classical events in your area.
