Hello and welcome to the Classical Next podcast, the global platform for the ideas and the people redefining classical and art music worldwide.
Today, I'm talking with American saxophonist Lucas Ingle and South Korean composer Shin Kim.
Both Lucas and Shin attended Classical Next 2026 in Budapest, Lucas as part of the Classical Next Fellowship Programme and Shin as a showcase artist.
After meeting there, they both began working on a collaboration to create new music, and we thought this would be the perfect thing to explore to see the power of making connections.
In this conversation, we dive into how international conferences create spark points for cross-border artistic collaborations.
We look at the consortium model and how it offers a sustainable, entrepreneurial pathway for commissioning new works, expanding repertoire, and reaching broader audiences.
We also explore the practical mechanics of collaborating remotely across time zones, advice for pitching and showcasing new projects, and why young musicians must embrace vulnerability and connection.
