Digital Concerts - Brand New Project

Digital Concert Platform

The B.R.A.N.D. NEW project departed from a core issue: how Europe’s emerging classical musicians—many of them prize winners of youth music competitions—would retain an audience in 20 years. The partners developed and implemented innovative concert formats that actively involved the audience in the creative process.

Over the following years, B.R.A.N.D. NEW promoted many young musicians through various projects across five European countries: Austria, Germany, Lithuania, Luxembourg, and Ukraine.
