ABOUT US

Founded in 2023 by conductor Yoel Gamzou, oneMusic is an international collective of like-minded musicians, united in their commitment to creating a vibrant, sustainable future for classical music. Our conviction is that an art form can only have a future if its contemporary output is as relevant as its traditional canon. Our founding principle is to commission new music that touches and inspires a modern audience, as opposed to the last decades of contemporary classical music, in which we have largely alienated our listeners. Our musicians are drawn together from some of the world’s best soloists, orchestra and chamber musicians, who work across multiple genres, and look for a more versatile output than what is currently offered by the traditional classical music industry. We are striving to create a future where classical music has a growing, vibrant, and sustainable audience, by forging a bridge between, or even a hybrid of genres, and concert formats.

oneMusic has its inaugural residency at Beethovenfest Bonn in September 2023, where the multiple programmes will include commissions from five composers from diverse musical backgrounds. These new offerings are programmed alongside universally beloved pieces, including Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, as we are committed to a 50/50 principle between old and new music in every programme. Future plans include further residencies across Europe, often in unexpected venues or locations.
