Bursaries available for Classical:NEXT Budapest April 2026

Classical:NEXT is the global networking and exchange hub dedicated exclusively to classical and art music, for all professionals – artists, managers, presenters, orchestras, labels, educators, press, media, publishers and more. The event includes an interactive conference, project pitches, showcase concerts, expo, and networking. By taking part in Classical:NEXT, you join over 1,000 professionals from more than 45 countries from around the world.

The event takes place this year in Budapest from 8 to 11 April, and Tŷ Cerdd (with support from Wales Arts International) is offering a number of bursaries to support attendance as delegates.

Tŷ Cerdd (Music Centre Wales) will be managing the Welsh presence at the event – including a Cymru/Wales stand at the expo. Bursary holders will have accommodation and delegate pass booked for them, and will be given some support towards travel-and-subsistence. The opportunity is open to organisations and individuals.

For any organisations or individuals wanting to find out more about Classical:NEXT, there will be a Zoom session on Wednesda 28 January @ 17.00.
