If you're a classical music fan, you'll want to join us on a virtual tour of the birthplaces, museums, and graves of Europe's great composers.

Since the middle of the last century, new music has emerged, originally inspired by romantic music, but also the simple characteristics of atonality, twelve-tone music, Second Viennese school, etc. Today there are many festivals dedicated to contemporary music, such as the Donaueschingen Festival of Contemporary Music, the Festivals of Aix-en-Provence, the Wien Modern, the Ultima Festival in Oslo, the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, the Aspen Music Festival, the Festival Pontino of Latina and the Festival Tempo Reale in Florence.
