Music conference with a world view – the Classical: NEXT in Rotterdam
Musikkonferenz mit Weltblick – die Classical:NEXT in Rotterdam
Gewiss, auch deutsch(sprachig)e Konferenzen und Tagungen haben ihre Berechtigung, können sie doch aufgrund des homogeneren Fachpublikums wesentlich gezielter und detaillierter Themen setzen und durchdringen.
