We're looking for experienced freelance writers (English) with a passion for and experience writing about classical music.
Classical music is often associated with being inaccessible and difficult to approach - a misconception that is only strengthened by the fact that the classical music world is extremely difficult to navigate and that it is highly time consuming and requires extensive knowledge to find classical concerts.
At Live Klassisk we want to change this by providing easy access to all live classical concerts, festivals, ensembles and venues. Through the Live Klassisk platform, new and young audiences - as well as core audiences - will have an easy entry into the classical music world. All classical concerts in Scandinavia are currently on the platform, and these can be sorted by preference based on time, place and genre - and soon much more.
Live Klassisk currently has more than 350 customers, including all orchestras, ensembles, festivals and large venues in Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
