Romania expands classical music education and public programming

The Classix Lab 2026 program is expanding across Romania, connecting Bucharest, Iași, Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara, and Arad through a series of cultural events. Scheduled for October 2026, the initiative includes five concerts, 20 masterclasses, four workshops focused on new media and videomapping, eight cultural management sessions, and five panels. The program features over 50 artists and experts from Romania and abroad, aiming to provide a professional development ecosystem for new generations of musicians.

Separately, the “Listen to 5 minutes of classical music” project, initiated by Radio România Muzical, is entering a new phase. Starting October 1, classical music will be played in various unconventional spaces across the country, including hypermarkets, malls, bookstores, and museums. Additionally, for the 13th consecutive year, the project will bring weekly musical works and educational explanations to Romanian schools throughout the 2026-2027 academic year, covering music history from the medieval period to the contemporary era.
